JR East Pass
The JR East Pass is only eligible for tourists to Japan.
As the name suggests, you can use it on designated lines in the Eastern region of Japan. There are 2 types of car available, ordinary and green. The green cars offer a little more luxury and comfort than the ordinary although we think the regular class is more than enough!
