This is a planning comparison, not a ticket quote. Prices are shown per person; child estimates use the usual 50% child fare for ages 6-11. Check the current route, season, seat type, and official JR Pass conditions before buying.

A national pass can also cover eligible short JR trips, such as local JR rides on Tokyo's Yamanote Line, plus some JR buses and ferries. Consider those smaller fares alongside your long-distance journeys before deciding.

Fares, pass prices, train eligibility, reservation rules, and seat availability can change. Use this calculator as a planning estimate and confirm the final route and current prices with the relevant JR operator before purchasing.
