And all fares are by distance. Any commuter passes are based on point A to point B also.
They have a Japan Rail Pass that allows for almost unlimited travel within Japan, but you have to be a visitor from a foreign country. But I hear it's one of the best ways to tour Japan. Their trains are quite awesome.
- kelnos 9y agoYeah, I did he JR Pass a year ago, and it was $249 for 7 days. I did some math after the trip, and if I had't had the pass, my Shinkansen bill would have been nearly 2x that. Plus I saved a bit here and there (on the order of $30) since I could use the local JR rail for free. The only transit expenses while there were when JR didn't have a convenient line and I had to use Tokyo Metro or the local trains in Kyoto and Osaka.
- Taniwha 9y agoyes we did that last year, you have to prepurchase the ticket before you arrive and claim it (with your passport with its fresh new entrance stamp) at the desk in the airport station (at least that's the way it works in Tokyo)
