Japan Rail (JR) Pass

JAPAN RAIL (JR) is a name which needs no further introduction. Train travel in Japan, whether on a super-fast Shinkansen (Bullet Train) or a more
local train is one of the best ways to see the country. It is generally expensive to travel around in Japan, unless you take full advantage of the JR
Passes. With JR Pass, you are able to enjoy unlimited travels on JR trains (inclusive most of the Bullet Train Lines) and it is great value for money.

DO I NEED A JR EAST PASS?

JR East passes are ideal for inter-city travel from Tokyo and eastwards towards major destinations like Niigata, Nagano, Sendai, Aomori, Nikko, Izu, GALA Yuzawa Snow Resort and more—even all the way up (east) to Hakodate in Hokkaido.
