Seishun 18 Kippu 5-Day JR Train Pass ¥12,050 (Approx ) at JR East
Planning a slow loop around Japan? JR's budget Seishun 18 Kippu (5-day) is a brilliant way to hop between regions without paying Shinkansen fares.
- ¥12,050 (roughly A$110 — check the rate yourself) for unlimited ordinary and rapid train rides on JR lines nationwide, plus BRT buses and the JR West Miyajima ferry (a separate ¥100 Miyajima tax applies)
- On sale 27 November 2026, valid for any 5 consecutive days you pick between 11 December 2026 and 11 January 2027
- Heads up: this version runs 5 straight days from your chosen start date, not 5 pick-and-choose days, and one ticket covers one person only — no splitting between mates
- No age limit, and it suits regional hopping rather than point-to-point sprints since limited express, sleeper and Shinkansen trains aren't included
