At the time, it replaced and expanded the <strong>JR Kanto Area Pass<\/strong>, which was launched in January 2012. Unlike many other Japan Railway Company train passes, this one is valid for all foreign residents, not just for foreign tourists. That means you can also use this passport as a foreigner living in Japan, regardless of your visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pass is valid for <strong>three consecutive days<\/strong>. It costs <strong>10,180 yen<\/strong> which isn&#8217;t a lot for three days of travelling. Passes for children aged 6 to 11 years cost 5,090 yen. Children under 6 years do not need a pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"656\" data-id=\"84182\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220145\/jrtokyopass-001-1024x656.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220145\/jrtokyopass-001-1024x656.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220145\/jrtokyopass-001-500x320.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220145\/jrtokyopass-001.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"84174\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220109\/jrtokyopass-004-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220109\/jrtokyopass-004-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220109\/jrtokyopass-004-500x313.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220109\/jrtokyopass-004.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Travelling with special trains in the Kanto region is reasonable thanks to the JR Tokyo Wide Pass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-what-area-does-the-pass-cover\">What Area Does the Pass Cover?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, you can use the JR Tokyo Wide Pass in a large area around Japan&#8217;s capital. This includes the <strong>Japan Railway lines <\/strong>in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Ibaraki prefectures, as well as parts of Yamanashi, Shizuoka, Nagano, Tochigi, and Gunma <meta charset=\"utf-8\">prefectures. You can use the trains as often as you want, as there are no limits to the number of rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the <strong>regional JR EAST trains<\/strong>, the pass can also be used for the <strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tokyo_Monorail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Tokyo Monorail<\/a>, the Izu-Kyuko Line, the Fujikyu Railway, the Rinkai Line, the Joshin Dentetsu Line, <\/strong>and some other lines. You can use the Shinkansen express trains, which take you to Karuizawa, Takasaki, GALA Yuzawa, and Utsunomiya, among others <em>(pay attention that the Tokaido Shinkansen to Yokohama \/ Shizuoka cannot be used with this pass). <\/em>The <strong>Narita Express <\/strong>and <strong>express trains to Nikko \/ Kinugawa Onsen<\/strong>, which are used cooperatively by the JR East and Tobu Railway, are also covered by the JR Tokyo Wide Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a better understanding, here is an overview map:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"784\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220113\/jrtokyopass-005-1024x784.jpg\" alt=\"JR Tokyo Wide Pass map\" class=\"wp-image-84175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220113\/jrtokyopass-005-1024x784.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220113\/jrtokyopass-005-500x383.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220113\/jrtokyopass-005.jpg 1354w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Area of validity of the JR Tokyo Wide Pass \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jreast.co.jp\/multi\/de\/pass\/tokyowidepass.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">East Japan Railway Company<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The JR Tokyo Wide Pass is especially worthwhile if you want to cover longer distances or use special trains. The 10,180 yen pass averages<strong> around 3,400 yen per day<\/strong>. If you are only in downtown Tokyo or want to go to Yokohama, it is not really worth it, as, for example, a single ride from Shibuya to Yokohama Station costs just 400 yen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trips out of the metropolis, for example from Tokyo to Izukyu-Shimoda, Takasaki, Karuizawa, Utsunomiya, or to Kawaguchiko, are even better, especially when using special express trains. Here the costs for a single trip are already between 4,000 yen to 6,000 yen. If you make a day trip out of it, you save even more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-where-can-i-buy-the-jr-tokyo-wide-pass\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Where Can I Buy the JR Tokyo Wide Pass? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now probably the question comes up: Where can I buy the JR Tokyo Wide Pass? There are <strong>two ways <\/strong>of doing this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you can order your pass online. Simply redeem your ticket at the JR Ueno Station by scanning your QR code and passport through the vending machine inside JR EAST Travel Service Center. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"aff_banner\">\n<div class=\"aff_banner_thumbnail\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=22318&#038;awinaffid=735177&#038;clickref=JR+Tokyo+Wide+Pass+EN&#038;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klook.com%2Fen-US%2Factivity%2F49927-jr-east-tokyo-tokyowidepass%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220126\/jrtokyopass-008.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Fuji and the Chureido Pagoda in Japan\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-84178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220126\/jrtokyopass-008.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220126\/jrtokyopass-008-500x313.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/25220126\/jrtokyopass-008-1024x640.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"aff_banner_body\">\n<p class=\"aff_banner_heading\">Tokyo Wide Pass<\/p>\n<p class=\"aff_banner_body\">3 days of unlimited train rides in Tokyo and the surrounding prefectures with this discount pass!
