Japan's JRPASS is a transportation coupon specially designed for tourists traveling in Japan. You can use this card to travel at preferential fares to meet your various transportation needs. Let's share with you the JR of Japan.

Through a detailed practical tutorial.

In order to promote tourism, Japan has issued many transport tickets that only tourists can use. Including JRpass, Kansai Wide Area Pass, Kyoto Osaka Pass, Mount Fuji Hakone-machi Pass, etc.

Many people will buy JRpass when they travel to Japan, but for the usage of JRpass, or how to make JR at hand,

Pass is fully utilized, but many people still don't understand it. I also read the instructions on official website, and there are some precautions when using 16. Few people have the patience to read every article, let alone interpret it. So, always ask the same question, "JR can be used in Tokyo.

What are the passing lines? ""Is it convenient to use a pass or buy a one-day ticket in Tokyo? "Similar problems have also appeared in Kansai Wide Area Voucher and Kyoto Osaka Travel Voucher.

Although many people may have written it online, I'll "start a new stove" here.

Traffic routes outside Tokyo JR and JR

Before I know what JRpass is, the most frequently asked question is, which lines in Tokyo can use JRPASS and which ones can't?

_ Japan Traveler _ Dao Co., Ltd. =JR

You can use the following lines JRpass.

(_ Beixin _ _, _ Island _, Central _, _ Beibei _, Yamanote _, _ Wu _, Changpan _, Chiyu _, Wu _ Ye _, Mei Qing _, Wuri City _, Nanwu _, Hengbang _, and Bagao _).

Traffic outside JR

_ Jing Underground _ Co., Ltd. = Subway (_ Block _, Marunouchi _, Hibiya _, _ West _, Chiyoda _, Tomomachi _, Semi _, North and South _, Deputy Metropolis _)

_ Kyoto Transportation Bureau = the so-called "Du Ying" (Asakusa _, Tami _, Shinjuku _, Dajiang _, Arakawa _, Niigata _)

The routes of the above three companies may be the most commonly used routes in Tokyo, and also cover the highest area in Tokyo.

Another example is:

Jingcheng Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (Ben _, Shangshang _, Kinmachi _)

The Beijing-cost line is the main transportation route to and from Narita Airport.

_ モノレル Co., Ltd. (_モノレレル _ Haneda _)

Haneda airport special line

Odahara _ uses it to go to Hakone-CHO.

_ Jing Linhai High-speed Railway Co., Ltd. (りんかぃ _)

ゆりかもめ (_ Jingli Linhai New Traffic Linhai _)

These two are the main routes to the stadium.

People who go to Miyazaki Hayao Art Museum may need Electric Railway Corporation (Wang Jing _, Sagamihara _ _ _ _ _, Takao _ _, Jing _ _).

There are also the following lines, buy tickets when you meet them! ! !

Jingbang Expressway Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (Ben _, Haneda _)

_ Jingjixing Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (_ Heng _, Mu _, Otaichi _, Yuchuan _, Ikebukuro _, Setagaya _)

Seibu Railway Corporation (Ikebukuro _, Yomachi _, _ _, Shinjuku _, Seibu _, Tama Lake _, Guobao Temple _, Tamagawa _)

PS: The route names are all written in Japanese, which are basically traditional Chinese characters. It is convenient to compare line names, because in Japan, line names and station names are basically not written in simplified Chinese characters, while in Tokyo, there are basically tips in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English.

What is JR JRpass(JapanRailPass)?

JRpass is a very favorable air ticket for traveling in Japan. JR's trams, including shinkansen, buses and ships, can be used within the validity period.

According to the website information, JRpass can be purchased online. After the purchase is completed, the "replacement card" will be sent to the buyer's residence.

Most people buy JRpass on various domestic travel websites, and exchange it in a convertible place after entering Japan.

The price is as follows:

Scope of use of JRPASS

You must go to the exchange office in Japan within 3 months after purchasing the replacement card, and it will be invalid after 3 months!

(Example: when the issuance date of the replacement card is 4/ 15, it can be changed to 7/ 14. In other words, 7/ 15 is invalid when it expires. )

You can decide the start date at the time of exchange, and you can choose any date within one month from the exchange date. However, it cannot be changed after the start date is determined.

(Example: You only bought a 7-day air ticket, but the travel time in Japan is 10 days, and the first 3 days are in Tokyo. You can set the use start date as the fourth day. )

Important precautions

Tokaido? Yang Shan? "のぞみ" and "みずほ" of Kyushu Shinkansen, free seats and designated seats are not allowed to JRPASS.

"ひかり", "さくら", "こだまつばめ" are all acceptable.

When you take the "のぞみ" and "みずほ", you need to pay the fare and first aid separately. In addition, if a green car is used, the green car fee will be charged separately. (Simply put: add money! )

Take the high-class car of the North Shinkansen, and charge extra express fee and high-class car fee. (Simply put: add money, too! )

When using the lines of other private railway companies, it is necessary to pay for each section to be used separately.

When using JRPASS to take the direct line of a private railway company other than JR, you need to pay on the tram or at the station of the line section of the private railway company. Wow, can it be more trouble? )

With the JRPASS ticket, all ordinary trains can be used. All the green carriages of ordinary trains can be used as long as they have JRPASS green tickets. (No need to add money! )

Switching method and switching station of JRPASS

Appointment method of JRPASS designated seats

There are three types of Shinkansen: free seats, designated seats and green cars.

You can use free seats as long as you show JRPASS. (except for the above-mentioned Shinkansen trains that cannot be taken. )

If you want to use designated seats or green cars, you need to make an appointment to add money!

If you want to reserve a designated seat or a green car, you need to go to the travel service center, the green window, or the travel company store designated by JR in advance, show JRPASS to make an appointment and get a designated seat ticket.

The "みずぅみ" between Aomori and Hetian Lake and the "ぉぃせ" between Baji and Hetian Lake are quota systems, and it is necessary to obtain designated vouchers in advance.

You must pay more money to ride "ホムラィナナナラィナナナナナナナナ".

During the busy period, it may be impossible to reserve the required designated seats.

Practical English and Japanese for Japanese Tourism —— Ride articles

I have lived in Tokyo for more than five years, from studying abroad to working, from poor travel to intensive travel, falling in love with hot springs, falling in love with hidden places and looking for every corner that is not crowded.

I have always believed that the real Japan can only be experienced where there is no prosperity. I have always believed that although the road to travel is indispensable, there is always a place to think quietly. There are many such places in Japan, which most people don't know.
