Hi sir, which of these places are good during winter (mid December)? Is the cold during Japan generally bearable during those times? Like I can spend a whole day outside without getting frostbite?

@japanunravelled 9 месяцев назад

You won't get frostbite but everyone's definition of "bearable" being different, I'll point you to this website where you can check the average temperatures for yourself: weatherspark.com/

Hey! Thanks so much for some great content. I have a question for you: Is Tokyo Wide Pass better than the Greater Tokyo Pass? Iùve read that the Greater Tokyo pass can be added to the PASMO card. We don't want to take any Shinkansen

@japanunravelled 3 месяца назад

Tokyo Wide is best for doing daytrips. Greater Tokyo Pass is good for inner city travel. Adding it to pasmo or suica is a good idea!

@bjouant 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video! I have a question, is it possible to take the pass as a foreign resident?

@japanunravelled 10 месяцев назад

Yes you can!

@diannecastillo7715 8 месяцев назад

Hi! I'm traveling to Tokyo on the 1st week of December. Should I buy the Tokyo wide pass now or do I wait a month before my travel before I buy?

@japanunravelled 8 месяцев назад

Good question. You can only buy it up to one month before (both on Klook and JR East's website).

A Stargazing train? Sold😍

@japanunravelled 3 месяца назад

I seem to remember the Ginga steam train had something similar but that's unfortunately been discontinued. Wrap up warm if you take this!

@TheWolfHowling 3 месяца назад

@@japanunravelled Shame that the Steam Train retired, that would have been fun as well. Packing of a warm jacket would be a must as the timeframe I'm considering is in the New During the Northern Hemisphere Winter.

@japanunravelled 3 месяца назад

Yes, I went in March and it was pretty chilly at the stargazing spot. Fortunately there are still some other steam trains that run. I also want to recommend Aso Boy and Yufuin No Mori down in Kyushu. Amazing designs and superb scenery. If you look up "Joyful Trains" you'll find there are plenty of interesting ones.

@whacknesebrian 9 месяцев назад

If I buy it from outside Japan and then I land at Narita Airport. Can I redeem it? Or I can only redeem it at Shinjuku/Tokyo/Ueno Station which are some of big stations in Japan?

@japanunravelled 9 месяцев назад

If you buy it from JR direct, no problem. The full list of stations where you can pick up is here: www.jreast.co.jp/e/ticketwindow/?selectPass=eastNN With Klook you need to go to Ueno Station though.

@japanunravelled 8 месяцев назад

@axios101 10 месяцев назад

First of all: thank You SO much for another piece pf VERY useful info! Questions now: Is the "Yamanote Line" included in Tokyo Wide Pass (I guess so, but I ask for confirmation) Toward Hakone are there trains or special trains included (or shall one use the local "Hakone Pass", maybe in just conjunction with the Tokyo Wide)?? The "joyful trains" include the one who goes arond Izu Peninsula (Saphir Odoriko? There must be another one which runs in opposite direction) An "indepth focus" of "joyful trains", their deals (and periods of service) should be useful!!

@japanunravelled 10 месяцев назад

You're welcome! 1. Yamanote Line - yes, included! 2. Tokyo Wide gets you to Odawara, but after that you need to pay for the private line to Hakone. Hakone Free Pass might be worth using depending on your itinerary. 3. Saphir's not classed as a "Joyful Train" and a little searching tells me Tokyo Wide only covers the base fare. So you need to buy the "Super Limited Express" ticket separately. You can do this using JR East Reservation in English. It's pricey though!

@axios101 10 месяцев назад

@@japanunravelled Thanks! I still need to "study" the Joyful Train or Special Tourist train thing... I'd like to take at least the one (or more) around Izu and Mie/KUmano/Nachi Falls... I'd also like to travel on something like "Yufuin no Mori" when I will be in Kyushu, but it seems to me that that one (and also some other) does not travel regularly but just from late spring to early autumn (which is strange because, especially in autumn, there could still be at least one "good" month to enjoy nice enough weather in october)

@japanunravelled 10 месяцев назад

Yufuin no Mori is possibly the very best of the special trains. I've taken it in March and June though, so maybe it does run all year round - hard to track down the info. Also, check out Aso Boy...

@axios101 10 месяцев назад

@@japanunravelled Nice! A video about those trains would be invaluable!😁

@hikimchi4507 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this! Very helpful information about the Tokyo Wide Pass. Most of my questions are answered. However, I have one destination that I would like to go to: Nagano, because we want to see the Snow Monkeys! But no matter how I search about it, I can't find whether this pass will help me get there. Some said yes, some said no. If you don't mind, could you provide me with some clarifications? Thank you!

@japanunravelled 5 месяцев назад

Hello! Tokyo Wide Will NOT get you to Nagano. You need the JR East Pass, Nagano area, or the Hokuriku Arch Pass. Both can be found at the regional passes link in the description.

@hikimchi4507 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much!! Have you heard about the Kyun pass which is 24hr JR pass?

@japanunravelled 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, that's good but over a few days the JR East passes that are always available are better value.

@abbysofiadona8395 5 месяцев назад

Can you reserve seats in the machine even before the start date of the pass? For example, I'll claim my pass on Feb 1 but the start date of my pass is Feb 2. Am I allowed to reserve seats on Shinkansen going to Mt. Fuji on Feb 1 or I could only do it on the actual travel date?

@japanunravelled 5 месяцев назад

I'm not sure, but I think the answer is yes. You can reserve seats online beforehand too, regardless of where you buy your pass from. So you can always do that before the pass starts and just pick up the reservation tickets at the machine with the QR code you get. The JR page may have more details if you hunt, but I hope that helps!

@SoulReaverRaziel 5 месяцев назад

Same concern, will be going to Japan next week

@samirsvirtualworld 6 месяцев назад

the jr lines in Tokyo aren't included? maybe they were only included with my jr Japan rail pass but not Tokyo rail pass?

@japanunravelled 6 месяцев назад

Of course JR lines are included.

@chizuzu 5 месяцев назад

Hello! If I want to use this pass to travel from Tokyo Station to Narita airport via NEX, do I have to put the physical pass at the ticket machine or scan the qr code (does it have a qr code?) to be able to reserve a seat? Thank you in advance.

@japanunravelled 5 месяцев назад

You need to put the pass in the ticket machine to make a reservation, yes. You can also make one online and pick the reservation ticket up at the machine. Tokyo Wide Passes don't have QR codes unless they've changed them. But you can pick up reservations using a QR code the online system will email you.

@epickelok 9 месяцев назад

@@japanunravelled thank you! Can I buy it via klook now even though I'm travelling in mid October

@japanunravelled 9 месяцев назад

You can only buy it one month in advance, so you need to wait a bit. I would recommend reserving the Fuji express early. I'm not sure, but I think you can still do this if you buy from Klook, using the ekinet site: www.eki-net.com/en/jreast-train-reservation/Top/Index You just need to select that you bought your pass from a travel agency. Again, reservations are only open 1 month in advance.

Hi. Great video. Am planning to travel 1) tokyo-karuizawa 2) karuizawa-yuzawa and 3) karuizawa - takasaki. I am assuming that my travel need not start from Tokyo. Am I right? And are there Shinkasen seat reservation machines in yuzawa and takasaki.

@japanunravelled 3 месяца назад

If you're using the pass, of course you can just start from anywhere in the area. Be careful with where you pick it up though. The locations are limited (see the JR East page in description). And I'm pretty sure that all shinkansen stations have at least one ticket machine which allows reservations with the pass. Hope that helps!
