JR Pass

given our itinerary, we used shinkansens and express trains everyday. so the JR Pass was super worth it -- convenience wise and money wise. it would have been more worth it if our trip was not shortened by 4 days. we were able to use the 14 days pass for 10 days only.

If you’re staying for more than 7 days and wants to explore not just tokyo osaka or kyoto this is worth it, unli shinkansen ride easy reservation for seats and free rides in some trains but still worth it. I was able to go to Nagoya, Shizuoka, Kamakura, Enoshima, Kyoto, Nara and some part of Sapporo all with reserved seats in the shinkansen. Will buy again for my next trip.

I’ve always bought my Japan rail pass from Klook as they deliver the pass fast and it’s trustworthy. Save us from the hassle of going down to a travel agent to buy the voucher. exchange voucher for the pass at the airport when you reached and you can use it instantly or anytime you wanted. do check the cost of Shinkansen so that you know it’s worth it to buy the pass cos JR has greatly increased price for the pass.

easy to redeem but a person in front took the card and walked off quickly when the card came out. advised that when you put the card in , allow the person in front of you to leave the gate first. because of this, I lost the whole value of card and I have the buy individual tickets for rest of trips including Shinkansen. have written to Klook hopefully can refund.

the JR Pass was such a money saver for my trip this time. I traveled to Japan multiple times and never used JR Pass thinking it wasn’t worth it but this time being in Japan for a month I purchased the 21 day pass because I was traveling from south to north and back again though it will be good to have the pass. and I wasn’t wrong. not only does it saves me money on the Shinkansen tickets it also saved me so much on the JR lines coz I was staying in central Tokyo. I booked in all my Shinkansen tickets in advance while activating it so I was not worried about not getting a seat during the busy Christmas period. definitely recommend the pass.

good to use, used it to take JR train to Kamakura, also Shinkansen from Hakodate to fukuoka. all is good so far am still using it. take note of limited hours of the jr office for pass redemption though - see my attached picture for hours, hope it helps!

今次買了十四天的全日JR Pass，雖然原價四千元，十一優惠價不用四千，仍然有點貴。不過在使用方面，較為方便，彈性又大。今次由東京先去北海道札幌，一路玩回東京。如由札幌（小樽、登別及旭川）到函館（夜景），函館到青森（澳入賴溪流及十和），仙台(藏王雪山及銀山温泉）等。回到東京再去橫濱。整個路線的鐵路票價，己超過購買JR pass 的價值。由於一早編好行程，去到JR綠色窗口，職員就好有禮貌地，幫我編了所有指定席車出來，按時使用，極之方便，極力推薦去日本，玩長途的人士使用。

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.

well worth the money! we used this for access all over Japan. worked perfectly, my ticket did get wet and then wouldn’t go through the machine so I just showed the train station staff’ highly recommended!

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.
