JR East has a great variety of value rail passes for foreign visitors to take advantage of travelling around Japan in a convenient and economical manner. The passes provide unlimited travel for overseas visitors to Japan, and while all may be purchased in Japan, some may be purchased abroad as well. Passes are available only for foreign nationals and holders of non-Japanese passports who have entered Japan with a “Temporary Visitor” visa and will stay in Japan for no longer than 90 days.
We’ll focus here on four passes: the JR TOKYO Wide Pass, the JR East Pass (Tohoku area), the JR East Pass (Nagano + Niigata area), and JR East + JR West Tokyo-Osaka Hokuriku Arch Pass. All passes have no black-out dates, beginning with their respective periods of use.
