JAPAN RAIL PASS
The Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass) is a special travel ticket created exclusively for tourists. It is valid across all intercity rail routes in Japan and allows unlimited travel on Shinkansen bullet trains (except Nozomi and Mizuho), as well as other trains operated by the Japan Railways Group.
If your itinerary includes visiting several cities, purchasing a JR Pass is much more cost-effective than buying individual tickets for each trip. In fact, the pass already pays for itself with a round-trip on the Shinkansen between Tokyo and Kyoto/Osaka, while all additional rides on JR lines are effectively free.
Who can use the JR Pass?
The JR Pass is only available for travelers visiting Japan for tourism purposes. To purchase the pass, the following conditions must be met:
- Length of stay in Japan must not exceed 90 days.
- You must have “Temporary Visitor” status in your passport.
Where is the JR Pass valid?
- Railways: All JR Group trains, including Shinkansen (except Nozomi and Mizuho), limited express, express, rapid and local trains, plus some routes on Aoimori Railway, IR Ishikawa Railway, and Ainokaze Toyama Railway.
- Buses: Local JR buses (Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Tokai, West Japan, Chugoku, Shikoku, Kyushu) and selected highway buses.
- Ferry: JR Miyajima Ferry (Hiroshima – Miyajima).
The pass is not valid on monorails (e.g., Tokyo Monorail).
How to purchase and exchange your JR Pass
When you buy the pass abroad, you will receive an Exchange Order (voucher). This voucher must be exchanged for the actual JR Pass at a JR Exchange Office in Japan within 3 months of purchase.
At the time of exchange, you can choose the start date of validity (must be within 1 month from the exchange date). The start and end dates cannot be changed afterwards.
At the time of exchange, you can choose the start date of validity (must be within 1 month from the exchange date). The start and end dates cannot be changed afterwards.
If lost, the pass cannot be reissued!
