if you are traveling in Japan and plan to visit Tokyo, as well as other parts

of Japan, I strongly recommend getting a foreigner's discount

Japan Railways JR Pass

It allows you to use JR Rail, one of the major rail companies in

Japan anywhere the JR rail runs, unlimited, including Shinkansen otherwise

known as bullet trains and reserved and rapid trains in the city.

The Japan Rail Pass also gives you access to JR Bus services, ferry services

and airport transfers just one round-trip bullet train trip will pay for the cost of

your JR pass. The JR pass was created for foreign visitors and for tourists

who travel to Japan on a tourist visa and who remain longer than 90

consecutive days. Japanese citizens who can prove they have been living abroad

for at least 10 years, may also buy a discount at JR Rail Pass.

You can buy a one, two or three week JR pass and you will get a discount for

purchasing the two and three week passes respectively. The cost of a one week pass

is roughly the cost of one round-trip ticket bullet train ticket, so it can pay

off really fast Japan Rail Pass for an adult cost two hundred fifty US dollars

for a one week pass four hundred seven US dollars for two week pass and five

hundred twenty seven US dollars for a three week pass at Japan Rail Pass for a

child ages six to eleven at the time of booking cost 127 US dollars for a one

week pass two hundred four US dollars for a two week pass and 261 US dollars

for a three week pass if you're planning to only stay in Tokyo

it would probably actually cost less to pay your affairs each way instead of

buying a JR Rail Pass however I strongly recommend that you book your

JR Rail Pass in advance for your trip for about

30 to 90 days in advance however a third

party service can sometimes expedite the process in just a couple of days by

delivering your exchange order for your JR Rail Pass at the airport or to your

hotel which you can use to pick up your actual JR Rail Pass a day

the standard JR Pass gives you unlimited access to transportation all

around Japan including all Japan rail bullets and Shikansen trains rapid and

local trains junior bus services and select ferry services the Shinkansen

high-speed trains are the fastest way to discover all of Japan

the JR network which can be accessed by the Japan Rail Pass practically

covers all the country with the addition of the new Hokkaido shinkansen japan

bullet train and the popular tok titles Shinkansen Japan ball trailer and this

ain't your grandmother's choo-choo train now

Japan's magnetic bullet trains have reached speeds up to three hundred

seventy four miles per hour which is the equivalent of 603 kilometers per hour

as another caveat a JR Rail pass will allow you to get rapid and reserved seat

trains in Tokyo for no extra charge a regular subway especially during rush

hour can get very crowded and you could be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with

people for as much as an hour by contrast the rapid car with reserved

seats is spacious and luxurious reducing the average 60 minute trip to 20 minutes

the green pass or Japan Rail Pass for first class gives its holders the right

to ride and access all first-class Shinkansen and certain fast line trains

the green pass trains offer extra comfort 40 degree reclining seats extra

seating space complimentary traditional hot towel otherwise known as oshi body

and free drinks on some lines however to be honest Japan is a country that prides

itself on excellence the reserved trains that you are eligible to use with a

standard pass already exceed most first-class experience on American

trains and planes
