Japan

Japanese blossoms and architecture
Japan - where futuristic bullet trains speed between cutting-edge neon and glass super-cities, and uber-cool gadgets are a way of life. But despite its space-age gloss, Japan also has a proud and ancient history with timeless traditions, graceful palaces and mysterious shrines.



The Japan Rail Pass is specifically designed for travellers and can only be booked outside Japan.  They are usually available in two classes - Ordinary (standard class) or Green (first class).
This fantastic pass offers unlimited travel on all Japan Railway lines and affiliated buses and ferries. It’s excellent value for money with the seven day ordinary pass costing the same as a one return ticket between Tokyo and Kyoto! Passes are available for 7, 14 and 21 days.
