Is it worth it?

Add the normal one-way fares of the rides you plan within 2 days (from the fare charts at stations or a route planner).

    Express, seat and Green car charges are usually not included in a pass: leave them out of the fares too unless the pass covers them.

    How to use it

    1. Buy it at a reserved-seat ticket machine at a JR East station in Chiba Prefecture (or Kurihama).
    2. Use JR automatic gates; on other railways, buses and the Tokyo Bay Ferry show the pass to staff.
    3. Limited expresses (JR) and Skyliner etc. need extra limited express / liner tickets.

    Where to buy

    • Reserved-seat ticket machines at JR East stations in Chiba Prefecture in the free area and at Kurihama (not at ticket offices)

    Disruptions in this pass's area

    Lines the pass covers where trains do not run now. Ask the operator whether the pass is also valid on its replacement buses or taxis.

    Service suspended · 総武線Sobu Main Line: no trains between Yachimata and Naruto after Typhoon No. 25; reopening is expected to take about a month. Replacement buses run on this section. As of 2026-10-10. Source
    Service suspended · 内房線Uchibo Line: no trains between Anegasaki and Nagaura after Typhoon No. 25; reopening is expected to take at least three months. Replacement buses carry only 10-20% of a train's load, so expect long waits. As of 2026-10-10. Source
    Service suspended · 久留里線Kururi Line: no trains between Kururi and Kazusa-Kameyama after Typhoon No. 25, with no reopening date yet. Replacement buses and taxis run on this section. As of 2026-10-10. Source

    Replacement bus · 小湊鐵道線From 14 October 2026, replacement buses or taxis run on weekdays only from Kazusa-Ushiku towards Yoro-Keikoku, stopping short of it because the road is closed. They run far less often than the trains, and you cannot reach Kazusa-Nakano or the Isumi Railway this way. As of 2026-10-10. Source
    Service suspended · いすみ線The whole Isumi Line is suspended after a derailment between Kuniyoshi and Kazusa-Nakagawa; reopening is expected around autumn 2027. Use the replacement buses instead (timetable on the Isumi Railway website). As of 2026-10-10. Source
