Getting Around Japan
・JAPAN RAIL PASS
The JAPAN RAIL PASS is a train pass jointly offered by the six JR Group companies. It is
a convenient and cost-effective way to travel throughout Japan by train.
・Oversized Baggage Space Reservation on Shinkansen Trains
For oversized baggage with total dimensions exceeding 160 cm but not exceeding 250 cm,
advance reservation of a seat with an oversized baggage space is required when traveling
on the Tokaido, Sanyo, and Kyushu Shinkansen lines, among others.
There is no additional charge for this reservation. However, if you bring oversized baggage
on board without a reservation, a ¥1,000 baggage fee will be charged.
・ETC Card Rental
Renting an ETC card from your rental car company is the easiest option for most visitors, as
getting a personal ETC card in Japan can take time.
・Expressway Pass
Special highway passes are available for foreign passport holders, offering unlimited use of
expressways in areas such as Hokkaido (HEP), Tohoku (TEP), and Kyushu (KEP) for a fixed
price. They are generally available as an option when booking a rental car.
