JR Rail Pass Price Hike Explained | Japan Travel Update

From October 2023, the price of JR RAIL PASSES will go up quite a lot, about 40% higher across the board. I’ll try to explain the price increase and why it’s expected. What’s its impact? #onlyinjapan # JRrailpass #Shinkansen

Still great deal...🤔

Not so sure about that. As it was one had to have at least two long distance train rides to break even and it was really only a bargain when a third long distance ride could be added in the 7 day time frame for the 7 day pass. Now if the 7 day pass allowed for 7 non consecutive days of travel then it would be a great value for those staying 10 days or more. Otherwise, the regional passes may actually now be a better value assuming they are not also seeing similar price hikes.

Will the prices increase for the shinkansen train tickets as we will travel without a pass.

Andrei - It was fun seeing you there with your two boys on the livestream with John. Have fun at Mt. Fuji tomorrow.

Thanks Dale. My boys were so excited to be able to meet John. It looks like it will be a nice day tomorrow, so hopefully not too many clouds for Mt Fuji to hide behind and we get alot of nice photos. 😀.
