“JR Rail Pass lets you relax and not worry about tickets for long and local travel”

Rich M.
4/23/24

We loved using the JR Rail Pass for bullet trains, for the long haul, and also for many local trips. There was almost always a local JR train available to get us where we wanted, which I was informed was unlikely but really wasn't except for a few times. The bullet trains were great as you can schedule a seat ahead of time. I get the feeling when you schedule a train, though, that they tend to give you a schedule that's more convenient to the train service than the customer. We left earlier than we had to to take 2 trains to Kyoto, when taking the direct train would have let us leave later on a direct train and arrive at the same exact time. Maybe the direct train was full? I don't know. We ended up on it anway. The biggest complaint I have is that the Wi-Fi was very spotty to the point of being nearly useless. That was very frustrating because when you're on a train for several hours, you want your Wi-Fi.

“Absolute no-go!”

The website is NOT an official representative for Japan Rail Pass! It's a Spanish middle man company that POSES as being official. Use utmost caution. We ordered 2 passes for over 700€. Instead of mailing the exchange order within a day as advertised we were asked to submit an authorisation code for the payment to prevent the order from being cancelled. My bank (a big European international bank) was not even able to provide such a code. This put us at risk of not getting our tickets in time. After I withdrew from the contract per Email I got my money back at least and ordered from the official site instead.

Don't leave home without the Japan Rail Pass when traveling across Japan. It's easier to use than in years pass. Don't get caught with the cost of the Shinkansen going from city to city as a tourist.

If you organize your trip to Japan you must buy JR pass! If you know what direction you will go you can book shinkansen (quick train) before - very convenient! Very fast and save money!

Japón es un país muy seguro, moderno y hermoso.Tiene todo: paisajes, ríos, mares, bosque, nieve y la comida es deliciosa y saludable. Quedé enamorada de Japón. Su sistema de trasporte aún me intimida y quiero aprender a usarlo a la perfección.
Me gustaría en mi próximo viaje, adquirir un pocket wifi en el mismo aeropuerto para tener conexión y desde ahí activar mi JRP.

Gracias Japón; fue una viaje increíble.
