Start with a better question
Is a rail pass right
for your itinerary?
A pass is a tool, not a travel requirement. Compare the journeys you will actually take before deciding.
Look past the headline
See ticket prices, pass validity and eligibility together. A lower modeled total comes with its assumptions attached.
Know what we don’t know
Missing fares get a clear explanation. We never fill the gaps with guessed numbers.
Rail decisions · Phase 2
A small calculator.
An honest starting point.
Plan major destinations with selected Shinkansen fares, HARUKA airport tickets and Kyoto–Kanazawa visitor tickets. Each journey shows whether an applicable price is verified.

Staying in one region?
Compare individual tickets and local options before a nationwide pass. If your verified journeys cost less than the pass, there is no price reason to choose it for those journeys alone.
Regional passes and slower local alternatives are not compared. This is not a complete search for the cheapest way to travel.
