What is the JR Pass? (Japan Rail Pass):
The JR Pass is a special train ticket for foreign tourists that provides unlimited travel on most Japan Railways (JR) networks across Japan for a fixed period and a fixed price.
It is an ideal option for travelers planning to visit multiple cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima, Hokkaido, and more.
How to Use It:
Purchase the pass before arriving in Japan (or inside Japan at a higher price).
Exchange your voucher for the actual JR Pass at any JR Exchange Order office in Japan.
Show the pass to the gate attendant when entering or exiting JR stations
Important Tips:
Keep your passport with you, as it is required during the exchange process.
Remember that the Nozomi and Mizuho shinkansen trains are not included.
It’s recommended to plan your shinkansen routes in advance to get the best value from the pass.
