Imagine that one way from Tokyo to Osaka cost JPY 14,720 by shinkansen which is JPY 29,440, yet additional transportation cost to wandering around the local areas. With the 7 days Pass, you can travel a lot, spending 2 days in Osaka, 3 days in Kyoto, 1 day in Kobe then go back to Tokyo. A huge deal of “all you can eat” – “all you can travel”.
Note here: You can use JR Pass on most Local JR Bus Line, too, which can make your travel expense far cheaper than expected.
Some conditions are applied. First, you must be a foreigner holding a temporary visit visa. If you are not and your family is visiting you, don’t worry, they can also buy a JR PASS for you too, as you will be marked as your family travel guide.
