Is it worth it?
Add the normal one-way fares of the rides you plan within 7 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
- Buy online (credit card, up to 6 people) or get an exchange order from an overseas agent before travelling.
- In Japan, collect the pass at a JR exchange office (or a passport-reader reserved-seat ticket machine at some JR East and JR West stations) with your passport showing Temporary Visitor status.
- Put the pass through the automatic gate, or show it at a staffed gate. Carry your passport at all times.
- Reserve seats for free at ticket machines, ticket offices or (online buyers) on the reservation site.
- For Nozomi or Mizuho Shinkansen, buy the separate Nozomi/Mizuho ticket for Japan Rail Pass holders before boarding.
