Trains...The Perfect Gateway to Japan!
Japan has the world's most covenient and efficient railway network. JR (Japan Rail) Group railways are proud of their international reputation for frequent service, punctuality, high speed, and safety. Travel by train is also the ideal way to view Japan: you ride comfortable and carefree, as vistas of a nation glide before your window-mountains, forests, lakes, highlands, and the sea.

Who is eligible for a Japan Rail Pass?

The JAPAN RAIL PASS is a special ticket that is available only to travelers visiting Japan from foreign countries for sight-seeing. To be eligible to purchase a JAPAN RAIL PASS you must meet one of the following two conditions.

"Temporary Visitor" entry status, according to Japanese Immigration Law, allows a stay in Japan of 15 days or 90 days for "sight-seeing, etc." If you apply for a "stay for sight-seeing" when you enter Japan, entry personnel will stamp your passport as "Temporary Visitor," as shown below. Only persons who have a passport bearing this stamp can use a JAPAN RAIL PASS.
2. You are a Japanese national living in a foreigncountry,
- who is qualified to live permanently in that country, or
- who is married to a non-Japanese residing in a country other than Japan.
