*The Japan Rail Pass allows unlimited travel on the entire nationwide Japan Railway (JR) network, including Shinkansen (bullet train), and is a reasonable price. Japan Rail Pass is only available to purchase outside Japan.
Ticket arrangement for domestic flight:
Domestic flights can be booked through our official travel agent, JTBGMT. Please contact there at wms2010@jtb.jp if you need assistance.
Due to the fact that prices for domestic flights will be finally fixed two months before your departure to Japan, it is only possible to start making reservations for domestic flights in Japan two months before coming to Japan.
Otherwise there is the possibility to combine the domestic flights in Japan with the ticket for the international flight.
In that case the period for reservations starts one year before departing for Japan. However, since the air fare depends on the travel region and terms of the flight it is not possible to announce a flat-fare for that case.
Two month before the departure the single air fares for the domestic flights will be announced.
Useful Information
The Japan Rail Pass offers overseas visitors an economical, flexible, and simple-to-use advantage over regular tickets, allowing unlimited travel on a vast network of JR trains and some buses throughout Japan. For more information and details, click here.
