can i benefit from the JR pass to travel within Tokyo subway? or it is only for traveling between cities within japan. do i have to get a suica ic card along with the jr pass?
ОтветитьKonichiwa! What is the luggage size that you can put above your head on the Shinkansen? Arigato!
ОтветитьKengo-san, I have a question. If I purchsae the pass from the official site, do I still have to stand in line with the exchange order to get the pass at Narita?
ОтветитьThis was such a helpful video thank you!
ОтветитьHello Kengo! Thanks for your informative videos - I'll be taking a 21 day solo trip to Japan in November and I want to focus on solely exploring Tokyo (mainly because I'm also lazy to travel outside of a region at a time 😆). Is it recommended to buy a JR rail pass, or would the regular suica/pasmo card suffice?
ОтветитьThank you so much Kengo San for a detailed explanation of the JR pass. My sister and I will be traveling soon to Japan.
ОтветитьWhen I look up one destination to another it shows a jr train then a non jr train, will I need to be also buying regular train tickets to complete some trips??
ОтветитьHi Kenchan, thank you for the informative explanation! I have purchased the JR Hokuriku Arch Pass, however I'm still a bit confused about it. Does JR Hokuriku Arch Pass also covers conventional lines in Tokyo? If it does, what lines does it cover? Thank you so much! Have a nice day :D
ОтветитьCan i use jr all on Nozomi? what is the website can I check the Hikari train?
ОтветитьThank you for the helpful video. I've read many websites on the Japan Rail Pass but it was your video that clearly explained the pros and cons of buying the pass online from JR directly vs. buying from an agent.
ОтветитьThank you for your video Kenchan. So informative!👍
One thing I'd like to know is, if i planned to go to Kyoto from Kumamoto, is it covered by the JR PASS or I need to purchase another one?
Hi KEN...is the National JR Pass covers the Shinkansen going to Gala Yuzawa?
ОтветитьI am arriving in Japan in September, however I don’t need a pass until about halfway through my trip. Does the pass start the day you pick it up? Or does it start on your arrival date in Japan?
ОтветитьThanks for an awesome breakdown Ken. JR are about to hike their prices something serious from October onward.
ОтветитьHello Kenchan
I'll be around 30 days in Japan soon, I wonder why there's no 30-days pass... do you know if it's possible for 1 person to buy 2 different tickets (1x 21 day-pass and 1x 7 day-pass) and combine them? I'd use the 7 day pass first, make a short break and then use the 21 day pass afterwards separately. I can't find any info if that's possible or not and why there's no 30-days pass
Thank you for your informative JR Pass info!!! I have a family of 7 arriving in Japan in November. 10 days of passes are needed and I liked the idea of getting a 3-day Tokyo pass and 7-day whole JR pass. Can the JR ticket counter at Narita Term 1 exchange my vouchers or do I have to go to the JR Pass Service Center. Which will accommodate my arrival time at 530pm? We will be on the train the next day for Osaka from Narita airport Term 2. Thank you for any and all help...
ОтветитьIs jr pass cover takayama & kanazawa? Also gala yuzawa.
Thanks
You say JR isn't allowed on tokaido bullet trains but that's all that's running to from toyko to Kyoto?!
ОтветитьHi, Do you know about the last date to reserve a ticket before the price hike? Thanks.
Ответитьaren't the the paper JR pass's done with though? I heard they're now actual cards and you still need to use the JR station to reserve the shinkansen tickets
ОтветитьThank you for this video. I have a question please. I'm travelling to Japan in October with my cousin and we would like to reserve a few train trips before we leave. Our problem is we are coming from 2 different countries and meeting up in Tokyo to start our trip. If we reserve tickets on the official site, before leaving for Japan, how do we ensure we are sitting together on the train? We are purchasing our JR Pass separately from each other. We would like to book our first destination which is Takayama and looks like we will be there for the Autumn festival (Oct 9), lovely. We have booked accomodation already thankfully, as it will be busy.
ОтветитьHello! If we have green car JR passes do we need to reserve seats on JR trains that are not Shinkansens?
ОтветитьDear Kenchan-San, thank you for the great video. We will arrive at Narita airport on terminal 3. According to JR there is no service station there. Do you know if we can get to terminal 1 or 2, or do we have to pick up our railway pass in the city? Best regards, Luca
ОтветитьHi. Thanks for the video. Will be going from Tokyo (4 days) to Kyoto (2 days) to Osaka (3 days) with day trips to Hakone, Nara and Kobe in between. For example, will be doing round trips from Tokyo to Hakone, Tokyo to Yokohama, Osaka to Nara, Osaka to Kobe. Flying into HND and out of KIX. Will a 7 day JR pass be worth it or ok without?
ОтветитьHi, may I know if the JR pass covers JR line in the Hokkaido region? Do I need to get another JR pass for my travel there? I am planning to visit quite a few places in the Hokkaido region. Thank you.
Ответитьhi, i'd like to ask something about West JR pass for 1 day.
If I've purchased the pass through klook, is it usable for haruka train from KIX to Osaka Sta?
And do I need spend another money to get the ticket from vending machine in KIX before boarding to the train?
thanks in advance!
JR System is efficient in reservation, this is also yet to be incorporated in numerous malls, kiosk-reservations-Foreign services desk/counter(s) for the purpose of reconciliations in businesses, ease of work, configurability and being efficient as well in foreign exchange fees-handling time amongst countries. This JR cards are efficient, tried it at some of the railway at H.K and you can use it to purchase Items inside H.K railway or outside railway at malls, Kowloon, Victoria park, The Peak, its points system that the card has and it is good for the stay and transfers from H.K and province areas and establishments. H.K Congratulations, JP-JR and countries, these can be incorporated as well. Xiexie, Xiu-Haik!
ОтветитьHi Ken-chan. I bought the pass from Klook. Once arrived in Japan, do I have to go to JR Office to exchange the pass or I can just use green machine to get the JR Pass. Prefer machine coz always no queue there.
ОтветитьHello! If I buy the JR pass through an agency, Can I use only unreserved cars if I want to? (for my route that includes Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima). Another question, I need to exchange the voucher for the JR pass as soon as I arrive in Japan, this pass they give me, is it valid for the tickets? What do I have to show to enter and exit the shinkansen/train/metro?
ОтветитьDear Kenchan-san, Another great vlog from you, very instructive and useful. I have always felt that Japanese trains are beautiful and superb, yet at the same time, a bit chaotic! So thanks for excellent JR Pass overview!! I can't wait for my Shinkansen/bento trip from Tokyo to Kobe this summer..
ОтветитьGreat video! Thank you for all of the helpful information!
ОтветитьPlaning to go to Japan In Middle March 2024, noticed that JR pass for 21 days prices are going up in October. If i buy the pass around on 26th September 2023, Activate the pass in Japan on 22nd March. Will it be valid for 21days after activation?
Many thanks
Do we need to reserve seats if my suitcase size is 80cm x 55cm x 36cm
Many thanks
Hi Kenchan, Thank you for the video. Your video (and a couple others) helped a great deal. We just came back from a 2-week trip and we had a 14-day JR Pass which we used every day. On many days, we went on trip that required 1 transfer, and we were able to make the transfer. We bought from an agency and reserved seats a day before. On a day trip from Kyoto to Hiroshima, the reserved cars were full for the time we selected so we just went in the unreserved car with no issue. In Tokyo Station, the ticket agent spoke English well. In Kyoto, the agent spoke into a tablet which transcribed in English. We used Navi Time Japan app to show the agents the trains we needed seat reservations. We also wrote them down when we asked for 3 different routes and that helped a lot. We also showed people or a train employee the seat reservation ticket to confirn that we are on the right train, just to be sure. Thanks again.
ОтветитьThank you! My family is planning to go Tokyo and then to Yamaguchi. Does this JR pass covers travel to the Ube city?
ОтветитьSo one person can carry two pieces of under 160 cms?
ОтветитьHi, Very happy to found your video here, it’s really useful information for me to plan the Japan trip for my family❤
ОтветитьI will arrive at the Narita Airport. From there I’ll go to Tokyo, then Kyoto and Osaka for a total of 11 days. Do I need to get just one JR Pass? If so, which one, JR East, or JR West, or JR Central…, or does it matter? One JR pass can be used on all rails to some extend?
ОтветитьI'll arrive at Osaka at 12 nov, if i change the exchange order to JR pass ticket at 12 nov can i choose the activate card at 18 nov ?
ОтветитьI plan to travel for 8 days and getting the 7-day JR Pass. Is there any option what to use on the 8th day to still go around Tokyo and also take the Narita Express?
ОтветитьHello! If I order from the official JR pass website, do they ship it to me? Other websites mention a 2 day shipping time to receive it but I can’t find any information on the official website. I know I’m supposed to activate it over there.
ОтветитьHi. Thanks for making this very informative video.
ОтветитьThanks for the video! One question I have, if I’m going from Osaka to Nara To kyoto and finally to Tokyo is Suica card enough or do I need to get a pass. Thanks!
ОтветитьKenchan, do you have Hakone video? I really appreciate If you can make a video of Owakudani and Hakone trip. BTW, I haven’t seen any video that you are driving a car during your trip. Is driving a hassle than train if we are traveling with kids
ОтветитьDo you need to make reservations ahead of time for days you're planning to use the JRPass? Or are you able to just hop on?
ОтветитьArigato brother
ОтветитьCan I avail the pass if I have a trainee visa.
ОтветитьWe are going to Japan next week this video was very informative and it helped us a lot! Thank you for making the time to record it and edit it, it is a great video!! Thank you so much!!
