Are you a traveler who has been comparing options to buy their JR Pass online for the last few months? Or a Japan lover planning their 10th trip, who booked their JR Pass online with us the 9 previous times? Then you might have seen changes to a familiar official site to buy the Japan Rail Pass: japan-rail-pass.com.
japan-rail-pass.com, a reference in the landscape of officially approved online sellers of the JR Pass, is no more. The green website, “Japan Rail Pass by Japan Experience”, becomes red, joining its mother company in becoming one!
Dedicated Japan travel expert for over 40 years, offering tours, activities, internet products, accommodation and much more, having helped thousands of visitors onsite, Japan Experience is one of the key players in Japan travel worldwide. Initially separating our transportation offers, gathered on japan-rail-pass.com, and our Japan travel offers, all present on japan-experience.com, we have now decided to make Japan Experience’s one and only website the one-stop-shop for all your Japan travel needs.
Why did japan-rail-pass.com merge with japan-experience.com?
- Improved user experience: you can now buy your JR Pass or train tickets online together with our catalog of 150 activities as well as over 50 houses and fulfill your Internet access needs (SIM, eSIM, Pocket Wi-Fi) in Japan!
- Avoiding confusion: the landscape of Japan travel specialists and transportation experts in Japan is widening as more companies cater to Japan visitors. Spotting the trusted websites is getting harder for travelers, thus joining our two brands together in one trusted brand, an official partner of Japan Railway (JR), is easier for everyone.
- Highlighting our partnership with JR: while Japan Experience (and japan-rail-pass.com) were already both authorized online sellers of JR transportation products, Japan Experience is as of last year one of the 3 official partners of JR authorized to sell individual train tickets outside of Japan. A more trusted name, Japan Experience, means more peace of mind for you travelers!
What does this change mean for you?
In the end, this change is only visual for travelers buying a JR Pass online. You get the same seamless purchasing experience, backed by the same dedicated customer service team ready to offer you assistance in any way you need, abroad and onsite.
The same hundreds of articles about train travel, present on japan-rail-pass.com, are also available on japan-experience.com. However, you now also benefit from thousands of Japan travel articles and guides! The same applies to our product catalog: transportation products that previously called japan-rail-pass.com home now join all our other Japan travel offers, from tours to houses, from eSIMs to excursions!
japan-rail-pass.com was already a part of the Japan Experience ecosystem as trusted Japan travel expert. Now, it’s entirely included, all to make it easier for you to buy everything you need for your Japan trip, and for us to help you make it the holiday of your dreams.
