I totally agree with Kevin… this amount of price raise makes that travelling without a JR pass is more expensive than pay for each ticket with,for example a IC card. You got to travel a hell of a lot to get some benefits out of the JR card. We plan to go to Japan next year and for 17 days and visit 7 city’s,I made an estimate of the cost for travelling these city’s and I don’t come near the new price for a JR pass. Very disappointed about the action of JR rail,this will indeed stop people from visiting Japan.
Ok Jonathan…You make me curious 😉
I fully understand your point from the current perspective, but the new JR Pass will include a lot of new benefits which will be well worth it for many visitors. Yet to be announed however 😊🇯🇵
