A word from John:

With JR Pass, I was able to explore various areas in every direction with big discounts! Since my travel time was limited, I didn't have to buy tickets at stations every time so JR Pass could save my time and money a lot.

How to buy the JR Pass?

You can purchase the JR Pass tickets with Amnet before coming to Japan!

After arrival in Japan, exchange the voucher for an actual pass at the selected ticketing office of the JR station.
