Tap the cities you'll visit, in order. We compare single tickets, the Japan Rail Pass and regional passes, and show you the cheapest way.
Only for long distances. Since the 2023 price rise, a Tokyo → Kyoto → Osaka → Tokyo loop costs less than 60% of a 7-day pass in single tickets. The pass pays off when you add Hiroshima, Fukuoka or several long day trips within a week.
Overseas sales agents now charge ¥53,000 / ¥84,000 / ¥105,000 for the 7 / 14 / 21-day Ordinary pass. The official website kept the old prices (¥50,000 / ¥80,000 / ¥100,000) for a limited time.
¥17,000 for 5 consecutive days of JR West travel between Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima, including Nozomi trains in that area and the Miyajima ferry. It beats the national pass for many Kansai-based trips.
City subways and private railways (not covered by any JR pass), children's fares and Green Car. Fares are adult, reserved seat, standard price. Online discount tickets can be a little cheaper. Rides between two cities without a direct line are priced via Tokyo as an estimate.
