Is it worth it?

Add the normal one-way fares of the rides you plan within 1 day (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. Unlimited rides on the Shinano Railway Line between Karuizawa and Komoro and on designated bus routes in Karuizawa (the bus list is on Shinano Railway's website).
    2. On the day, tap the start button in the ticket, then show the in-use screen to station staff or the crew.
    3. Limited express and other trains that need a surcharge ticket are not included: pay the surcharge separately.
