Japan Rail Pass

Travelling by train in the UK leaves much to be desired. Buy a rail pass in Japan and expect the polar opposite. Enjoy total flexibility and reliability as you travel with comfort and style. Ride futuristic bullet trains between cutting-edge neon and glass super-cities in the time it takes to eat a packet of peanuts.

Enjoy unlimited travel on Japan Rail lines and affiliated buses and ferries. Choose between 7, 14 or 21 days of consecutive travel. They’re fantastic value for money (a 7 Day pass costs the same as one return ticket between Tokyo and Kyoto) and can’t be bought inside Japan!

7 Days from £213
14 Days from £339
21 Days from £433
