Japan by Rail: The JR East Pass (A Tale of Two)

Everyone knows that the Shinkansen is one of the best ways to travel in Japan. These high-speed trains can take you almost anywhere in the country — fast. And a JR East Pass keeps things affordable too, with potential savings of hundreds of dollars. But which JR East Pass should you choose? Let’s take a closer look at two that are available — the JR East Pass (Nagano, Niigata area) and the JR East Pass (Tōhoku area). Both of these rail passes are available to all foreign passport holders — whether you are visiting Japan, or live here.

Introduction to the JR East Pass

JR East operates trains in the Kantō and Tōhoku regions of Japan, as well as parts of the Chūbu region. They have different options available, including:

JR East Pass (Nagano, Niigata area): Partially covers the Hokuriku and Jōetsu Shinkansen Lines. JR East Pass (Tōhoku area): Fully covers the Tōhoku, Yamagata, and Akita Shinkansen Lines.

In addition, both of these options include travel on local JR train lines, JR buses, and some private lines.

Need a primer on Shinkansen in general? Check out our ultimate guide to Shinkansen travel .

The basics: JR East Pass (Nagano, Niigata area) vs. JR East Pass (Tōhoku area)

First things first, these two rail passes take you to very different parts of Japan. With the JR East Pass (Nagano, Niigata area), you’ll be able to visit Nagano and Niigata . Meanwhile, the JR East Pass (Tōhoku area) gets you to Aomori , Yamagata , and Akita .

There is a little overlap though. Both cover Tokyo and the Kantō region — meaning both are valid for travel in and around Tokyo, and as far as Nikkō or Itō.

They both also have partial coverage of other Shinkansen Lines. The JR East Pass (Tōhoku area) covers the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Sakudaira and the Jōetsu Shinkansen to GALA Yuzawa . Meanwhile, the JR East Pass (Nagano, Niigata area) covers the Tōhoku Shinkansen Line to Nasushiobara.

We’ll look more closely at where each pass can take you below, but first let’s start with a basic comparison.

As you can see, there is a slight price difference between the two passes. Otherwise, they are both valid for five consecutive days, and available to both foreign tourists and foreign residents of Japan .

JR East Pass (Nagano, Niigata area)

¥ 27,000 /adult, ¥ 13,500 /child Book online here

The JR East Pass (Nagano, Niigata area) is great for exploring the central Chūbu region of Japan. This region is home to the Japanese Alps, and therefore many ski resorts and onsen towns. When it comes to the namesakes of this pass, Nagano is famous for the ever-popular snow monkeys , while Niigata is well-known for its rice production and sake. As the pass covers areas close to Tokyo, you spend less time traveling and more time exploring.

Who’s it good for?

This pass is perfect for a winter getaway. It gets you to a variety of ski resorts, along with well-known attractions and onsen. You can spend your days on the slopes and your evenings soaking in a hot spring.

Sample itinerary

If you follow this sample itinerary, you could save over ¥ 10,000 in transport costs.

Leave Tokyo bright and early on the Hokuriku Shinkansen. Your first stop is Karuizawa for a visit to Shiraito Falls , followed by an afternoon of shopping at the outlet stores.

Head towards Nagano City, and out to Jigokudani Monkey Park. Next, travel to Nozawa Onsen. At Nozawa Onsen hit the slopes, then finish your day in a hot spring.

Today head to Myōkō for more snowsports and onsen. If you need a break, consider exploring Myōkō-Togakushi Renzan National Park .

Next is Niigata City, where you can visit the Northern Culture Museum. Grab some sushi for dinner — the high quality rice paired with fresh seafood will be hard to resist.

On your last day, stop by GALA Yuzawa. This ski resort has its own Shinkansen station, so you can ski or snowboard until the slopes close and then easily head straight back to Tokyo.

JR East Pass (Tōhoku area)

¥ 30,000 /adult, ¥ 15,000 /child Book online here

If the area covered by the JR East Pass (Nagano, Niigata area) is good because of its proximity to Tokyo, the charm of the JR East Pass (Tōhoku area) is that it can get you far, far away. The Tōhoku region is a rugged area, known for its natural beauty. However, foreign visitors to Japan (still!) rarely go there, making it a great place to get off the beaten track.

This pass is great for experiencing a quieter part of Japan. In particular, nature lovers will enjoy the range of landscapes and natural wonders.

If you follow this sample itinerary, you could save over ¥ 20,000 in transport costs.

Leave Tokyo on the Tōhoku Shinkansen for Hachinohe to visit Oirase Gorge. Enjoy a hike along the gorge before returning to Hachinohe.

Head to Kakunodate to explore the old samurai district. In the afternoon drop by Lake Tazawa on your way to Morioka.

Travel south to Sendai and then out to the mountain temple of Yamadera . After exploring the temple, continue on to Ginzan Onsen.

Travel south to Shiroishi and out to Zaō Fox Village . Then head back to Shiroishi and enjoy a walk along the Shiroishi Riverbank.

On your last day, stop in Fukushima Prefecture to visit Ōuchijuku. The old post town is known for its well preserved buildings with thatched roofs.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

Read Next: Things To Do on Socotra

To continue this Moscow itinerary, next you may want to go inside the Kremlin walls. This is the center of Russian political power and the president’s official residence. If you’re planning to pay Kremlin a visit do your best to visit Ivan the Great Bell Tower as well. Go there as early as possible to avoid crowds and get an incredible bird’s-eye view. There are a couple of museums that are available during designated visiting hours. Make sure to book your ticket online and avoid lines.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

12 Stunning National Parks and Regional Parks In France

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

Here is a quick look at the seasons so you can decide when to visit Moscow!

The summer months (June-August) are a great time to travel to Moscow to take advantage of the enjoyable mild temperatures. This is considered peak travel season. Bear in mind that hotel prices rise along with the temperatures!

If you’re planning a trip to Moscow during fall (September-November) try to plan for early fall. This way the temperatures will still be pleasant and winter won’t be threatening.

Russian winters (December-February) are not for the faint of heart as Napoleon learned to his peril. Some days the sun will be out for less than an hour, and snow is guaranteed. Although winters are exceptionally cold, this is when you’ll get a true glimpse of the Moscow experience!

The best time to visit Moscow is during spring  (March-May). The temperatures will begin to creep up and the sun begins to shine for significant portions of the day. Hotel rates will also have yet to skyrocket into peak ranges!

With a Moscow City Pass , you can experience the best of Moscow at the CHEAPEST prices. Discounts, attractions, tickets, and even public transport are all standards in any good city pass – be sure invest now and save them $$$ when you arrive!

Moscow is a large city with many accommodation options to choose from. Staying in a location that fits with your travel plans will only enhance your Moscow itinerary. Here is a brief introduction to a few great areas of the city we recommend checking out!

Of course, as in all areas of Moscow, it’s close to public transportation that will quickly connect you with the rest of the city and make your Moscow itinerary super accessible!

An important aspect of planning any trip is figuring out the transportation situation. You’re probably wondering how you’re going to get to all of your Moscow points of interest right? Luckily, this sprawling city has an excellent network of public transportation that will make traveling a breeze!

The underground metro system is the quickest and most efficient way to travel around Moscow. Most visitors rely exclusively on this super-efficient transportation system, which allows you to get to pretty much anywhere in the city! It’s also a great option if you’re planning a Moscow itinerary during the colder months, as you’ll be sheltered from the snow and freezing temperatures!

If you prefer above-ground transportation, buses, trams, and trolleybuses, run throughout the city and provide a rather comfortable alternative to the metro.

Moscow’s metro, buses, trams, and trolleybuses are all accessible with a ‘Troika’ card. This card can be topped up with any sum of money at a metro cash desk. The ticket is simple, convenient, and even refundable upon return to a cashier!

No matter which method you choose, you’ll never find yourself without an easy means of getting from point A to point B!

It takes just 58 seconds for visitors to reach the Tower’s observation deck by super fast elevator. The tower is open every day for long hours and is a great site in Moscow to check out! There is even a restaurant at the top where you can enjoy rotating views of the city while you dine on traditional Russian cuisine or European cuisine!

The tower is somewhat of an architectural surprise in a city that is not known for skyscrapers! To see the city from a new perspective, make sure to add this stop to your Moscow itinerary!

Izmaylovo District

• The most popular attractions in this district are the kremlin and the flea market
• Outside of the city center and easy to reach via metro
• Most popular during the summer and on weekends

Travel outside the city center and discover a unique area of the city! The Izmaylovo District is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, and one of the coolest places to see in Moscow! The two main attractions we recommend checking out are the Kremlin and the flea market.

The Izmailovo Kremlin was established as a cultural center and molded after traditional Russian architecture. This colorful complex is home to several single-subject museums, including a Russian folk art museum and a vodka museum!

Next to the Kremlin is the Izmailovo open-air market, which dates back to the 17th century! The market is connected to the Izmailovo Kremlin by a wooden bridge. Pick up all your Russian souvenirs here, including traditional handicrafts, paintings, books, retro toys, and Soviet memorabilia!

You will find many hand-made and hand-painted options available at higher prices, as well as mass-produced souvenir options at lower prices!

Museum of Soviet Arcade Games

• Closed on Mondays
• Filled with old arcade games that visitors get to try out!
• The museum also includes a small cafe and burger shop

For something a little different, check out the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games! The museum features roughly 60 machines from the Soviet era, including video games, pinball machines, and collaborative hockey foosball! The machines inside the museum were produced in the USSR in the mid-1970s.

The best part is, most of the games are still playable! Purchase tickets and try the games out for yourself! The museum also has a neat little screening room that plays old Soviet cartoons and an area with Soviet magazines! This unique attraction is a fun addition to a 3 day itinerary in Moscow, and an attraction that all ages will enjoy! 

Whether you’re spending one day in Moscow, or more, safety is an important thing to keep in mind when traveling to a big city! Overall, Moscow is a very safe place to visit. However, it is always recommended that tourists take certain precautions when traveling to a new destination!

The police in Moscow is extremely effective at making the city a safe place to visit and do their best to patrol all of the top Moscow, Russia tourist attractions. However, tourists can still be a target for pickpockets and scammers.

Moscow has a huge flow of tourists, therefore there is a risk for pickpocketing. Simple precautions will help eliminate your chances of being robbed. Stay vigilant, keep your items close to you at all times, and don’t flash your valuables!

If you’re planning a solo Moscow itinerary, you should have no need to worry, as the city is also considered safe for solo travelers, even women. Stay in the populated areas, try and not travel alone late at night, and never accept rides from strangers or taxis without a meter and correct signage.

The threat of natural disasters in Moscow is low, with the exception of severe winters when the temperature can dip below freezing! Bring a good, warm jacket if you visit in Winter.

However, please note that Russian views on homsexuality are far less accepting than those in Western Europe. Likewise, Non-Caucasian travellers may sadly encounter racism in Russia .

ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing .

Guide to the JR East Pass

Flexible 5-day pass offers convenience and value

The JR East Pass is a special discounted pass available exclusively to travellers arriving in Japan on a short-stay tourist visa. It allows for unlimited rides across the JR East network within the designated coverage zone and offers incredible convenience at the same time.

For those who don't need the nationwide coverage or longer duration of the flagship JR Pass , the JR East Pass weighs in as a more affordable, more convenient option for many Japan-bound travellers.

The JR East Pass is exclusively available to tourists visiting in Japan (those staying for under 90 days, which is the default short-stay stamp offered on arrival anyway).

The pass allows you to travel on unlimited trains—including the shinkansen or bullet train—for any 5 days over a 14 day period. Usage is entirely flexible and not applied consecutively. You can use it only when you need to and take days off in between.

Since 2016, the JR East Pass comes in two varieties: a Nagano-Niigata version and a Tohoku version, both with incredible coverage zones. Both passes cover the entire Kanto region, spanning JR East lines from Shizuoka to Chiba (that includes Kanagawa, Saitama, Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki and—of course—Tokyo too). Now for the differences:

Tohoku Area JR East Pass

The Tohoku Pass extends up to northern Japan's Tohoku region and unlocks Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Akita, Yamagata and Fukushima. To the west, it stretches as far as Nagano's Sakudaira and Niigata's Yuzawa.

Nagano-Niigata Area JR East Pass

The Nagano-Niigata Pass covers central Nagano (including Matsumoto) and the entire Niigata prefecture.

Prices are now cheaper than previous years, starting at just ¥18,000 for adults (12+ years old) and ¥11,000 (6–11 years old).

They are even discounted by up to ¥1,000 if bought internationally, online in advance.

When compared to the average price of a long-distance train ticket just about anywhere (if bullet train, then in the region of ¥10,000 on average), these prices offer unbeatable value.

Remember that rides are unlimited on the days you use the pass – that could mean a round-trip journey via shinkansen from Tokyo to Aomori on just one of your 5 days.

How to obtain

There are 2 methods to get a JR East Pass:

• Purchase the pass outside Japan – you can do this directly online or via a travel agent. Compared to buying in-country, buying in advance attracts a slightly cheaper rate.
• Purchase the pass inside Japan – you can do this at any of JR East's Travel Service Centers which operator at major JR East Stations including Tokyo station, Ikebukuro station, Shinjuku station, Haneda, Narita, Yokohama and several more. All you need is your passport.

If you ordered your JR East Pass outside Japan, the collection method is almost the same as buying in-country. You swap your Exchange Order (e-ticket) for the full pass at one of JR East's Travel Service Centers (see the full list ), showing your passport for proof of eligibility.

Things you will need

You will need very little to get your JR East Pass but having the following definitely helps:

• A non-Japanese passport with temporary visitor stamp – which is needed for collecting your pass.
• Exchange Order or (if buying in Japan) ¥18,000 Japanese yen – if the purchase is completed online in advance and you will receive an Exchange Order.
• Travel Service Center Directions – to a convenient pickup location. There are many across Tokyo and east Japan, but Narita and Haneda Airports have you covered too.

When you have your pass, you are good to go, but we can recommend the following items (as well as your JR East Pass) when travelling around Japan:

• Passport — may be required for identification when using the JR East Pass.
• Smartphone/tablet — allowing you to use Google Maps directions or check train times.
• Sufficient cash — many places outside the big cities do not take credit cards. Read more here .

Plan your route beforehand. If you don't have regular Internet access, remember that after you have loaded a Google Map, you no longer need access to the internet.

If you get lost, ask people for directions: generally people will try and help you. Station staff are also very helpful.

Make sure the routes you will be taking are within the JR East zone and research to ensure the places you are visiting will be open when you go.

Generally the trains have available seats outside of rush hour, but you can of course make seat reservations either at the station or online .

Areas to visit

Once you have your pass, it is time to explore Japan! Do some research into the areas you want to visit. Popular destinations include include Tokyo, Disneyland in Chiba, Sendai (for Tohoku), Nagano & Kamakura.

The JR East Pass is valid on JR East trains including the Shinkansen (Bullet trains), the Narita Express and the Tokyo Monorail. If you are interested in staying overnight at your destination then research accommodation prior to visiting and plan in advance. Journey times to some popular destinations are as follows:

• Tokyo to Sendai: 1 hour 30 min.
• Tokyo to Aomori: 3 hours 40 min.
• Tokyo to Niigata: 2 hours 10 min.

This pass is a great way to explore areas and you can save a lot of money, especially if doing various trips in one day. It may also be helpful to get travel to the airport. I went on around 15 trains all together with the JR East Pass and saved a lot of money in the process. It is often easier and faster to get the Shinkansen trains instead of taking domestic flights and this pass allows you to do just that.
