You can exchange the purchased voucher at the ticket office at major stations. When entering, just show the pass to the officer. You don't need to insert the ticket.

Although much more expensive than before, the pass includes JR as well as railways around Shikoku and Shodoshima ferry, which is still very convenient, buying online early is a little cheaper than buying locally, worth recommending!

It feels like a very cheap and practical free pass. If you are not traveling by car, it is highly recommended. It allows you to travel around four countries very cheaply.

The main reason for buying here is that after comparing the prices, the price here is better. But before buying, I found that the prices of computers and mobile apps are different. Only the computer has a discount, while the mobile phone has the original price. In the end, of course, I bought it on the computer. , $629, which is $19 cheaper. You really need to lower the price first.

Simple, clean, comfortable and cost-effective. The only thing is that there are few parking spaces. There is a large supermarket opposite, which is very convenient.

With a JR Pass, you don’t need to worry about getting on the wrong train or arriving at the wrong station. Basically, as long as you show this ticket to the station staff, you can almost always take it. The rest is to pay attention to the range; basically there is no need to buy a pass. Unless it happens to be a holiday or it is a particularly popular car.
