Before buying
Check eligibility, dates and every route boundary
Confirm passport eligibility. The pass is currently limited to travelers holding a non-Japanese passport, with the original passport required under JR East conditions.
Use three consecutive calendar days. The validity is not three flexible travel days.
Keep every journey inside the pass area. Do not add an uncovered operator or route to the pass value.
Check your reserved seat. Confirm the current train and seat conditions before relying on a specific departure.
