The most economical way to travel around Japan is with a Japan Rail Pass – and it’s only available to visitors from overseas. It allows you unlimited travel on all lines operated by Japan Railway (JR) including Shinkansen bullet trains.
You can order your Japan Rail Pass (exchange order) easily and quickly through Charly Iten Art Affairs.
Your exchange order can be exchanged at a Japan Railway (JR) ticket counter on arrival in Japan. Together with your exchange order you will receive a useful information leaflet that also lists the stations in Japan where your exchange order can be exchanged. This is best done either immediately on arrival or shortly before you plan to take your first train journey.
Travel Classes
The Japan Rail Pass is available for First Class (known as Green Class in Japan) or Second Class (known as Ordinary Class in Japan). Both types are great value for money.
Validating your Japan Rail Pass exchange order
When exchanging your Japan Rail Pass exchange order your travel document will be stamped with the date you wish to take your first train journey.
Your travel document will be valid for either 7, 14 or 21 days consecutive travel.
Please be certain of your dates when planning your first train journey since any changes can’t be made after you receive your travel document.
