Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Japan Rail Fare Navigator?
This tool helps you compare the cost of individual train tickets versus various Japan Rail Passes (like the 7-day, 14-day, 21-day JR Pass) for your specified itinerary. It aims to find the most economical option for your journey across Japan.
How accurate are the calculations?
The calculations are based on simulated data for demonstration purposes only. Real-world train fares and pass prices can vary significantly due to factors like seat class, specific train types (e.g., Nozomi/Mizuho vs. Hikari/Sakura), seasonal pricing, exchange rates, and availability. Always verify with official JR sources for the most current and accurate information before making travel plans.
Does it include private train lines?
For simplicity, this version primarily focuses on JR lines and common JR Pass scenarios. Many private lines are not covered by the standard JR Pass. For a comprehensive plan, consider additional local passes or individual tickets for private lines that might be necessary for your specific destinations (e.g., Hakone, some parts of Kyoto).
