If you're planning to explore Japan's beautiful landscape and rich cultural heritage, the Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass) is the perfect travel solution. With the JR Pass, you can enjoy unlimited access to Japan's world-class railway system, including the famous shinkansen or bullet trains, as well as local JR trains, buses, and ferries. This pass is an ideal way to travel throughout Japan, especially if you want to visit multiple cities or regions during your stay.

The JR Pass is available in three different durations: 7-day, 14-day, and 21-day. The 7-day pass is perfect for travelers on a tight schedule, while the 14-day and 21-day passes are ideal for those who want to take their time and explore more of Japan. The pass is also available in two classes: ordinary and green (first-class) cars. The green cars offers more spacious and comfortable seating, making it ideal for longer journeys.

With the pass, you can travel as much as you want within the validity period, making it a great way to save money while still being able to experience all that Japan has to offer. What are you waiting for? Grab your JR Pass before flying to Japan for a convenient, flexible, and all-in-all perfect trip in Japan!

What is the Difference Between the Ordinary Car and the Green Car?

For those wanting a more efficient, cheaper, and easy trip, the Ordinary Car offers great value. With the Ordinary Car, you can don't have to reserve seats before you get on the train, making transfer between trains much easier. However, since the passengers are not required to reserve a seat before boarding, the Ordinary Car can be a bit more crowded than the Green Car.

Travel comfortably on Ordinary cars with 2+3 or 2+2 seating layouts

Meanwhile, if you want more comfort with larger space on the train, Green Car is the right choice for you. Marked with the green clover symbol, the Green Cars of the train offer more spacious seating with bigger legroom for you to travel in comfort. It is also typically less crowded than the Ordinary Car, as all seats must be reserved before boarding. Seat reservations can be done at the JR ticket office and are only available after you have redeemed your JR Pass

Get the Green Car ticket to enjoy more spacious and comfy seatings on the Green Car carriages  

In addition to that, with the Green Car pass, you can ride on both the Green Car and the Ordinary Car, while with the Ordinary Car pass, you can only ride on the Ordinary Car.
