National or regional
The national pass is best for long distance travel between regions. Regional passes focus on one area and often include local buses or private lines.
Fuji Five Lakes and Hakone
Hakone and Kawaguchiko are both served by private operators. Area passes for these regions often bundle buses, boats and ropeways that a JR pass does not cover.
How to choose
List the trains you plan to take, add up single fares, and compare. JRPassGo helps you match a pass to your itinerary.
Quick tips
- Check which buses are included
- Regional passes often have shorter validity
- Combine with IC cards for local trips
