The Japan Rail Pass, which has provided budget-friendly access to unlimited rides on Japan s local and regional lines for overseas visitors since 1981, will see steep price increases in October. The prices for a seven-day rail pass will jump to 50,000 yen from 29,650 yen for ordinary class, and to 70,000 yen from 39,600 yen for Green Car class.
After decades without a significant increase, the price of the passes is jumping by as much as 76 percent. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t still a good value, if you know how to use them.
