Child JR Pass, N'EX & Suica

Hi there,

In general in Japan, child tickets (ages 6-11) are made available at 50% of the adult fare.

The Japan Rail Pass is available for children aged 6-11 at significantly reduced prices (50% cheaper) to the adult charges. You can find more information on the prices on our pricing page (clicking the tab for children's prices), or on the main JR site.

Regarding the N'EX + SUICA card, there is no combined ticket for children, however you will still be able to purchase child priced N'EX tickets and a special children's Suica card (Kodomo-yo suica). The N'EX trips will be 50% of the adult fare (so ¥1470 each way). The Suica card will cost ¥2000 to purchase (¥500 deposit and ¥1500 travel value), however the actual charges applied to the prepaid suica card on use will be 50% of the normal adult fare. So your daughters ¥2000 Kodomo-yo Suica will allow the equivalent travel to an adult spending ¥3500.

You can purchase both the child N'EX ticket and the children's Suica (kodomo-yo Suica) at the JR ticket counter.

Hope this helps!
