Hi
I am travelling to Japan coming 17- 25 April 2026. My itineraries is basically like below.
17/4 - Narita to Shizuoka
18/4 - Shizuoka - Fujinomiya - Shizuoka
19/4 - Shizuoka - Aomori
22/4 - Aomori - Hirosaki
23/4 - Hirosaki - Tokyo
24/4 - Around Tokyo
25/4 - Tokyo Narita
Based on these itineraries, will JR Pass or JR East pass All area will be a better option for me? Can i buy any of these passes upon arrival in Narita or must i get it before arriving in Narita?
Thank you
Hi there,
Since you are traveling from Shizuoka all the way to Aomori, the Nationwide JR Pass is the most suitable option. I would recommend a 7-Day Nationwide JR Pass, activated on 19 April, to cover your longest and most expensive journeys.
As your departure is this Friday, we can arrange delivery to your address in Japan. This usually takes 2–3 business days; please provide your check-in date and hotel booking name so we can ensure a smooth delivery!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
