The Japan Rail Pass is specifically designed for tourists and must be bought outside Japan.
It allows unlimited travel on Japan Rail lines and affiliated buses and ferries.
Passes are available in two classes:

• Green (First Class)
• Ordinary (Economy Class)

For periods of 7, 14 or 21 days of consecutive travel, starting from your first day of travel.
The Pass is excellent value for money with the 7 Day Ordinary Pass costing the same as one return ticket between Tokyo and Kyoto.

Pass rates for children apply from age 6 to and including 11
