Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass)

Japan Rail Pass is a discount ticket for foreign travelers, offered by the six companies that belong to the Japan Railways Group. First of all, be sure that the JR Pass cannot be purchased inside Japan. Therefore, we can't help you purchase the JR Pass. You need to obtain an exchange receipt at a travel agent in your country. The receipt can be exchanged at the ticket counter of designated major JR stations in Japan. Since there are several restrictions and requirements of using the JR Pass, check the following website beforehand. It can be also used on seat reservation for Shinkansen Train and limited express, however, notice that the waiting line might be long and seat reservations are particularly difficult on high seasons. In addition, the seats for passenger with wheelchair are limited in number and difficult to reserve, JR Pass is not recommended for wheelchair users. Consultation and advice are free of charge.
