Japan Rail

 

For those who wish to travel to other parts of Japan, this country is famous for having one of the most efficient and modern rail systems in the world. Japan Rail (JR) covers all of Japan’s regional cities. All of the JR lines are color coded. The JR Yamanote Line is green and does a circle around the central Tokyo. It is the center of rail transportation in Tokyo and most of the other JR and private company lines begin at one of the Yamanote stations and travel to different places within the loop. Other JR lines include the Chuo, Sobu, Saikyo and Heijin-Tohoku lines.

 

The “Japan Rail Pass” allows foreign visitors to Japan unlimited travel on the JR trains. Prices start at ¥29,110 (adult)/ ¥14,550 (child) – depending on the length of the Pass and duration (running from 7 to 21 days) See here for more info about how to purchase a JR Pass:
