This is a necessity if you’re planning to tour different parts of Jspan where you’ll be riding the Shinkansen/ bullet train most of the time from a distance like osaka to Tokyo. It is cost effective.

Exchanged for JR Pass at JR station in Tokyo didn't take that long but travelling on a Shinkanesn trains were superb. Travelling a lot from Tokyo to Kyoto and Osaka and other places make it worth while. I am planning to come back again and will purchase JR Pass again.

It was worth it since we were using the JR passes to travel going back and forth for Tokyo-Hokkaido, Tokyo-Osaka and Tokyo—Nahano-Toyama and other various short trips by JR trains. Overall it was a fun and enjoyable trip around Japan. Definitely will do again for the orher region of Japan.

Getting this Unlimited JR Whole Japan Raill Pass is a MUST! My partner and I spent a 2-week vacation in Japan recently. 1 week in Osaka and 1 week in Tokyo. This is the most convenient and efficient transport tickets that we purchased so far. We used it for taking the Shinkansen and trains from the day of our arrival at the Narita Airport to Osaka, from Osaka to Tokyo and back to Narita Airport again on the day of our Departure. It took us to a lot of places and destinations from our Kyoto/Nara tour, Trip to an Onsen Spa, Visiting Universal Studios and Exploring Dotonbori in Osaka. Aside from this, it also helped us getting around Tokyo from our Mt Fuji Day Tour, Visiting Disney Land and Disney Sea as well as getting to Mitsui Outlet Park in Yokohama and exploring downtown Tokyo. This unlimited pass saved us the trouble of buying tickets all the time. Extremely convenient and covered all our transport needs. We highly recommend for everyone to get this pass. It's also easy to navigate and learn their train system with the help of Google Maps in getting around. It's also worth noting that their train schedules are arriving precisely at the exact time, sometimes even earlier for a few minutes so you can plan your trip accordingly and you will get to your destination at your intended time. Just a piece of advice, try to avoid the rush hour in the morning and late afternoon / evening if you are not willing to stand in the train for the duration of your trip.

This is by far the best pass deal , if your visiting Japan and traveling right around Japan. This pass is for you. it’s convenient and if I added all the trips I made it would be more than 50 000 yen. Thank you JR Pass ❤️🇯🇵⛩️

It was our best decision to purchase the pass through Klook before heading to Japan. Delivery of the vouchers was very quick only took couple of days and so easy to exchange the actual ticket at the JR ticket offices. we saved big dollars by travelling with the pass throughout Japan. 👍

Our JR Pass was well worth the price! We traveled from Tokyo to Fukuoka, Hiroshima, and Okayama, using it to reach Uno Port, where we caught the ferry to Naoshima (Art Island). Afterward, we used the pass to return to Okayama, then continued on to Kyoto. The JR Pass even covered the last part of the journey on the JR line! I highly recommend booking and reserving seats for each leg of your trip on the day you arrive, as JR lines to reserve tickets can get quite busy. We reserved four Shinkansen tickets, which would have cost us around $2000 AUD. all photos below are from each stop we visited using JR pass

One of the best experiences travelling in Japan is taking JR and Shinkansen between multiple cities. Just remember to book your seats ahead so you can secure your seats. Be earlier than the scheduled train as Japanese JR is always on time! Enjoy the journey!
