The JR Pass allows unlimited use of trains, buses and ferries of the main railway company which crisscrosses the country. The 7, 14 or 21 day pass must be purchased before arriving in Japan, via the official website of the JR group or a partner travel agency.
Once your pass is activated, you will be able to take all JR transport at no extra cost, including the famous Shinkansen, among the fastest in the world. The JR Pass remains practical, despite the increase in its price, and opens up the field of possibilities in terms of itineraries.
