Guide to free travel in Japan

Japan is a country with great oriental cultural charm and is inextricably linked with Chinese civilization. This is a country with a dramatic development experience. Now Japan has become a popular holiday resort. The following provides you with a detailed free travel strategy.

Let's start with the JR West Japan Passenger Railway, which is responsible for this area. JR west Japan passenger railway is an independent subsidiary of Japan's old state-owned railway company 1987. Others include JR East Japan Passenger Railway, JR Central Japan Railway Company, JR Kyushu Passenger Railway, JR Shikoku Railway Company, JR Hokkaido Passenger Railway and JR Freight Railway.

Among them, JR West Japan Passenger Railway is responsible for the area from Kyushu Hakodate Station to Hokuriku, including Hakodate to Kokura. JR west Japan passenger railway is responsible for the shinkansen, and the local incoming line is the original railway, which belongs to JR Kyushu passenger railway. After crossing the Guanmen Strait Cross-Harbour Tunnel, JR West Japan Passenger Railway is fully responsible.

Let's start from far and near. This is also my choice this time, the railway travel pass in Yangshan and Yinshan areas.

1, weekly tickets for Yangshan and Yin Shan railways.

This travel ticket was issued by JR West Japan Passenger Railway. From Hakata Station in Fukuoka, Kyushu to Feng Jingen in Kansai, the span is quite large. From this picture, except for ordinary trains and express trains on the inbound line from Kyoto to Tottori Prefecture, the scope basically covers the whole western part of Honshu.

This ticket is valid for seven days. In addition to the above-mentioned existing route from Kyoto to Tottori, you can walk from Hakata Station to Kansai area unlimited times within seven days. The farthest place in the southeast is to Wakayama, and it is impossible to go to Nanbaibang.

Why do you say I think this coupon is super cost-effective? One is Hakata, which reaches the hub station in Kyushu as far as possible, and the other includes places rarely visited by Yinshan tourists, which can reach Takamatsu in four countries.

that this is not the important question. The key point is to be able to take other Shinkansen wild trains and Mizuho trains, that is, Hope and Mizuho trains, which are not available in the All Japan Pass and Kansai Pass.

I have never fucked Mizuho. I have been to Hope several times. Hope is the latest N700 series Shinkansen train of JR West Japan Passenger Railway. It runs at a speed of 300KM/h, and the tilting body swings 1 degree controlled by computer.

Some people will say that it doesn't matter if you want the N700. Anyway, there are many trains on the Shinkansen, so you can take the Echo. But it should be noted here that the running time of Echo and Hope is too different.

For example, from New Kobe to Hiroshima, I hope to run for 68-73 minutes.

Only 107 minutes, half an hour left.

If it is the echo of the second jade, the time difference will be more. If you can, why can't you take away hope? However, the Kansai region, including Hiroshima, can't take a wide-area ticket, but can only take a local train.

Another advantage is that the Yangshan Yinshan Travel Pass can change six seats to take the Shinkansen, including NOZOMI and MIZIHO, and it doesn't cost money. For example, from Novosaka to Hakata, Kyushu, the total seat fare is 15, 130 yen.

No seats are available. It's 14480 yen. I checked hundreds of yen, and since they can all be used, why not? Words are also meat.

If you want to go to Yinshan, you can take the Okayama-Izumo Yakumo express train in Okayama, which was one of the few electric locomotives in the old China railway era and now seems to be the only line still operated by 38 1 series EMUs. The JR loop line in osaka prefecture is also ok. If you leave from Kansai Airport, you can take Chunxiang directly to Kyoto, but only for non-designated seats.

An adult with a pass can bring two children aged 1-5, but when sitting in a reserved seat with corresponding seats, it is necessary to buy a pass for the children, and the adults have to pay half price.

Children aged 6-1/kloc-0 must buy children's tickets, and adults aged 12 must buy tickets. When I bought it, the fare was 19000 yen, because the JR agent made an appointment through the domestic system, which may be a little more than tens of yuan, and it cost 1 130 yuan, which is basically the same price. Now that the exchange rate is rising, the price may rise, but it is all empty talk.

Furthermore, there is another variant of this Yangshan Yinshan Railway Pass with a wider area, that is, the Yangshan Yinshan Kitakyushu Railway Pass jointly issued by JR Kyushu Passenger Railway and JR West Japan Passenger Railway. Kitakyushu area has been added, and you can also change seats, but the time has not changed, or 7 days. Personally, I think the cost performance is not very high, and the price seems to be around 1400 RMB. But this is a different choice.

This coupon is cheaper than that in Shan Yang, but it is only valid for five days. This direction is different from Yangshan Yinshan, mainly in the direction of Shikoku. Yangshan Shinkansen Hope can, but it can't change seats for free. You can only take free seats. Go up and find a seat. To talk about the characteristics of this ticket, including half of the four countries, you can go to places like Takamatsu and Ehime Matsuyama. What is more distinctive is that this ticket can take the ferry between Songshan and Hiroshima for free. It also saves time, especially if you can go directly to Wugang. Blessed are those who like military history. However, the scope of this coupon is still too small. Congratulations to those who can't go, that is, Kyoto.

Ask Shikoku what this rural area means. Seriously, I asked the Japanese, and they directly said that there was nothing to go to that kind of countryside. It seems that except Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, the rest are rural areas. Sounds like a magic man.

This is a joke. In fact, in Songshan, Ehime and other places, there are hot springs behind the road. That's it.

The last episode was filmed in Nagao Kanji's hometown, and it was also the last stop for the two to break up. Looking at other people's photos, the station has basically not changed. A sign says that it was taken at that time, and now it has become a pilgrimage site for many young men and women.

Ok, let's talk about the price. Now this coupon is 17000 yen in China, which is about 1000 years old. However, I always feel that the price/performance ratio is similar.

2. Japan Seto inland railway five-day tour coupon

I think this coupon is more cost-effective, about 800 RMB. If it is Osaka and Kobe, this coupon is the most suitable. Although it will take five days, you can take Hope to Hiroshima as far as Iwakuni. I remember a classic bridge called Iwakuni, not to mention Miyajima. Take a tram from Hiroshima Station to Iwakuni, and Shikoku can also take an ocean liner from Okayama to Shikoku. To eat udon noodles, you can go south from Osaka, take Kuroshio Express all the way to Wakayama, Baibang, Zhendian and Shinomiya, especially when you arrive at Shinomiya, get off and transfer to Nanji train, and go north to Nagoya, but that's from JR Central Japan Railway Company. This coupon cannot be used. To the north, you can go directly to the bird feather on the Fukuyama line in Kyoto, or you can go to Shiga County where Lake Biwa is located.

If you want to talk about shortcomings, you can't change seats. This is the greatest certainty, but it doesn't matter. There are many free seats and many trains.

3. Pass for Kansai and Hiroshima

If this is only in Kansai, it is still very cost-effective, much cheaper.

Wakayama in the south, Shiga County in the north and Luji in the west.

It's really cheap, but the scope of use is a bit narrow, especially when you can only go to Luji instead of Okayama.

4. Railway Pass in Kansai Region

Actually, I personally think this ticket is more cost-effective than the Kansai Travel Pass. Why? Because you can go directly to Okayama or Tottori. Tottori is also a part of Yinshan Mountain, and there is a huge beach by the sea. Not bad. This coupon can also go to Takamatsu and Shikoku. The key point is that there are all western travel vouchers here, and you can also go to the new palace at the southernmost tip of Mu Yi Peninsula in Wakayama County to link with JR Donghai.

Well, the price is only 9000 yen, which is not much more expensive than the Kansai 4-day ticket, so I recommend this one. About 200 yuan, there are many places to go. But this one can't take the Hope Shinkansen to Okayama, and can only take the ordinary slow Shinkansen such as Echo.

Extra benefits: You can take the Wakayama Electric Railway from Wakayama to Guizhi Station for free. Seeing a webmaster with a second language, whose Japanese name is NITAMA, sounds like swearing. Now Eryu is the stationmaster of Guizhi Station, Xiaoyu went to the west, and Eryu, also from three color cat, took over as the stationmaster.

This is also my favorite one. Why? The price is too cheap, about RMB in 330 yuan. In five days, you can travel around Feng Jingen, Yi Shi and Nagoya by train. Tiejin is the largest private railway company in Japan, followed by Wudong Railway Company.

Why do you say gold rail? This card has more benefits. Besides the Beijing Railway train, there are buses and sightseeing buses in Iseshi, which can also save several hundred yen. Especially, if you want to go to the Ise Shrine, you have to take a bus from the outer palace to the inner palace.

My colleague Nara's bus also includes the bus from Nara Station near the railway to Nara Park, which is very economical. Tieguan is different from JR's. It's a magnetic card type. Don't forget to take the card when you enter the station gate. You still need it when you leave the station. When you use a new card, the validity period will be marked for the first time, five days.

But the subway is very urgent, so it is more convenient to buy extra express coupons at the artificial window. For example, there are express trains from Osaka Langbo to Iseshi's destination prefectural island, Osaka Langbo to Nagoya, and Nagoya to prefectural island. You need to buy an express ticket, but it can save money.

You can reverse the car and take the local train. You don't have to go anyway. It just takes a little time, for example, the express train from Osaka to Nagoya Station takes two hours. If you don't buy an express ticket, you can choose the opposite direction, which takes about three and a half hours. In fact, it is much more cost-effective to go to Osaka from Nagoya. It's basically half the price of Shinkansen, including an express ticket. I'm going to buy tickets separately If you use a pass, you only need an express ticket to buy a seat, that is, give up your seat.

There is also a regular version of this pass, more than 200 yuan, except the bus ticket. Regarding the use of the bus, get on the bus from the back door of Nara bus and don't get the sorting ticket. When you get off the bus, show the driver the front and back of the passplus iron, especially the expiration date of the back. This is the first time that you put the near rail in the gate to print automatically. You must pay attention to this.

Additional version of NearRailPASS, by the way, this can go from Osaka to Kyoto, Kyoto Station and JR Kyoto Station, and from Nara to Nara. Moreover, there is also an advantage of a difficult railway station, which connects with the tram in Hanshin and can go directly to Kobe Mimiya. Actually, I think if you only go to Nara, Kyoto, this is more useful than Kansai Voucher. I don't think it's so convenient to go to Nara by Jr.

In addition, please note that if you want to go to Miyako Kobe, you need to call again, and you can only get to Miyako by boarding the train in ICOCA. You can't get to Mimia at this pass, mainly because you can't get out of Mimia Station.

It seems that the southern line of Osaka can reach yoshinoyama in one day.

The special express ticket near the express train, the one from Mie Prefecture to Osaka, is the designated seat corresponding to Jr.

The express ticket to Nagoya Bird Feather is actually a train to Dawson.

The ticket price, which does not need to be exchanged, can be bought directly in China and will give you a magnetic card.

5. Kansai Wide Area Railway Pass

Let me talk about the advantages of this voucher first. The roads near Kyoto and Mei Tian in Osaka are clear. There are several scenic spots to Kyoto, including Kiyomizu Temple, focusing on Osaka subway and some bus lines. This is still very good, and it can be used in conjunction with other passes, because JR's tram goes to Kyoto Station, which is still a long way from Kiyomizu Temple. It is very good to use with JRPASS, especially for Meitian who lives in the north of Osaka. If you live in Japan Bridge in Navabo, Osaka, South China, it is recommended that this card be used in combination with the nearby railway pass. There are actually four kinds of travel tickets for Osaka tram, namely, subway 1/2 day ticket, Kyoto day ticket and this one-day pass with Osaka subway. I only chose the most practical one.

6. Kintetsurailalpassplus (enhanced version of railway pass)

Needless to say, the transportation stored-value card ICOCA issued by JR West Japan corresponds to SUICA of JR East Japan, which can basically be used in a wide range of countries and convenience stores, including trams in Hiroshima Electric Railway City, Hiroshima Prefecture.

Because I saw that the guide said that the Hiroshima tram could not be used, but I went to Hiroshima this time to verify that it could be used. Like the bus, I swipe my card at the back door. Let's talk about the card when we get off the front door. This is necessary as a supplement to pass. At least, I personally think that after all, you don't need change when you go to a convenience store to buy things.

My daughter-in-law has already held ICOCA in her hand, so I'll find a ready-made photo for the time being. There seems to be nearly ten thousand yen left on the facade.

Bus stop

As long as there are signs, you can use them. Not only JR West Japan Tram can be used, but also convenience stores such as 7- 1 1, lawson, familymart and sunkus can be used. I have verified that I can use this in the airport shop at Fukuoka Airport in Kyushu. I mean the shops that have passed the customs waiting area. I wonder if all duty-free shops can use it.
