      Looks like that the site "Japan Experience" is located in London/Paris/Japan and the pass is delivered by FedEx. Do I need a 28 degree card to avoid the bank fee? Thanks.

        Yup.

        Not charged in AUD.

      • matt777 on 07/07/2016 - 09:43

        Nope they charge in AUD-
        and yes I know they are overseas but always get via fedex within 2 days. Best service from all the ones I used.
        Made the mistake once of using JTB Australia and took about 2 weeks to arrive.

        • gm3stevens on 07/07/2016 - 13:23

          Thanks for the info:) Save me the trip of going to H.I.S.to buy the rail pass!

    Hi Rep, Any specials on NEX, or other transport from Narita to Tokyo (Shinjuku) return please?

    • pyramid on 06/07/2016 - 23:04

      Narita to Shinjuku and return will be 4000 JPY (14 days validity). Or use your JR Pass to travel on NEX for free. And you can buy NEX return ticket at Narita airport.

      • altomic on 06/07/2016 - 23:56

        Or just by a regular ticket for a couple of hundred yen.

        • altomic on 07/07/2016 - 00:03

          @pyramid: can't exactly recall. Semi express about ¥800 ( I was paying for 1 adult and 3 kids so just fed in the money). Stopped 4 or 6 times. What's the hurry? Its Japan. Savour the moment and experience.

      • mini_wombat on 07/07/2016 - 02:05

        I used an airport bus from Narita to Tokyo Station and it was 1000 JPY … (it had the advantage that I didn't need to walk to Terminal 2 where the trains are as Jetstar arrives in Terminal 3 … so same time)

    I'm in Tokyo at the moment. I previously lived in Japan for 4 years. Unless you're trying to cram a lot of cities into a short space of time e.g. Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, etc then a JR pass is good. If you're just doing Tokyo and maybe Kyoto/Osaka or another city then I'd strongly suggest getting a bus. Myself and 3 kids just went Tokyo-Sendai (same distance as Kyoto/Osaka by bus. Whilst it took an extra 4 hours it was only ¥7500/ US$75 for the 4 of us one way. It was a good chance to wind down and chill and we didn't see another foreigner and met a lot of Japanese people I.e. more grass roots. Nice. I think there is too much emphasis on JRPasses.

    The only fiddly thing with booking a bus ticket was needing to enter our names in katakana (the "alphabet" for "foreign" names/things) but there are plenty of online sites that will do the conversion. And you can just copy + paste. The bus sites have an "English" site otherwise google translate does a good job.

    There are over night buses if you want to avoid a hotel and save. That's cool.

      Ok, that's pretty cool man. Thanks for that. I would have done this last time, but we didn't have 4 hours to lose. Next time I'll definitely try it - Love hanging out with the locals.

        Yeah id rather spend 4 hours walking the streets of kyoto than on a tour bus tbh.

          Yeah maybe I'm sad but a few hours on the Bullet every few days was one of my highlights. Watching the scenery out of windows with the people I love and a can of ice coffee will hopefully always be in my memories.

        • skazclaw on 07/07/2016 - 14:19

          I guess it depends on your situation, but some of the best times I've had was being "stuck" with the locals.

          @jjno41: I liked watching the scenery from the shinkansen too :) Especially while sipping on some local sake :D

    Why is it so expensive to use the rail there?

    • yasui on 07/07/2016 - 07:56
      +3

      Because it runs on time, reliable and clean.

    • jeppetto367 on 07/07/2016 - 08:07

      These passes are expensive as you can use the bullet trains with minimal restrictions. I did a day trip from Tokyo to Hiroshima (800km) last time I was there which I wouldn't have done if I didn't have the pass. I also did another return trip from Tokyo to Kyoto making the pass well worth it. These trains run at almost 300km too so it doesn't take nearly as long as you think. Works out way cheaper and more convenient than having to fly around the country.

    • Cyphar on 07/07/2016 - 08:37

      It's not that bad. There's various day passes and what not. The above rail pass provides you access to all JR trains, up to the bullet train, barring the Nozomi, which is the super express that'll get you from Tokyo to Osaka 20 minutes quicker (So nothing missed by not getting to use it).

      The reality though is unless you are going to make 2 return trips from Tokyo to Narita, or a return trip from Tokyo to Hiroshima, there is better value to be had by buying tickets individually (For a 7 day pass)

      • pyramid on 07/07/2016 - 08:39

        Correction : Jr pass can not be used on Nozomi and Mizuho both.

        • Cyphar on 07/07/2016 - 09:12

          Spot on. I keep forgetting about the Mizuho service!

      • Cyphar on 07/07/2016 - 09:14

        Not sure why I can't edit my post, but I was meant to write "The reality though is unless you are going to make 2 return trips from Tokyo to Osaka", not Narita

    • piggyfund on 07/07/2016 - 09:06

      These are only available to tourists and using the bullet train is probably the most viable option for travellers wanting to go to multiple cities taking into account the price and time required to get domestic flights.

    • FloatingPoint on 07/07/2016 - 10:43

      There are cheaper options like Seishun 18 Kippu (on sale during school holidays) 11850 JPY for 5 days where you can take all JR 'Local' and 'Rapid' trains. However it will take way longer with multiple transfers to complete your long distance journey.

    Food for thought guys.

    • tailgatinholden on 07/07/2016 - 09:38

      Can you clarify this? So you're saying you bought it cheaper?
      Or that you just spent your time in Tokyo and this is how much you spent in train costs.
      Cheers

  • piggyfund on 07/07/2016 - 09:04

    I'd check these people are authorised to sell JR Passes first by looking at the list on the official website of resellers. Travel scams are rife.

  • alchew on 07/07/2016 - 09:42

    How can this stay up as a deal when sachitours sells it slightly cheaper? How is it a "deal"???

    • pyramid on 07/07/2016 - 10:27

      Because it has got +ve votes. I do not know on what basis people are upvoting this deal.
