7 DAY PASS - JAPAN ESSENTIALS ITINERARY
Having a 7-day Japan Rail Pass offers convenience and flexibility when it comes to travelling around Japan via the Shinkansen and JR trains.
Here’s a 7-day sample itinerary to help you make the most of your time if you’re thinking of getting this pass for your next trip to Japan.
Day 1: Narita Airport to Tokyo
From Narita Airport, go to Tokyo via the Narita Express, which is fully covered by the Japan Rail Pass. After you passing through immigration
and customs, look for the Japan Rail Ticket Centre (there is one in Terminal 1 and another in Terminal 2). There you’ll be able to swap over your
Exchange Order voucher for the actual JR Pass. Activate your pass that day and secure a seat reservation on the Narita Express. The travel time
between the airport and central Tokyo is about 1 hour.
Day 2: Tokyo
Downtown Tokyo can be accessed via the JR Network (the Yamanote, Keihin Tohoku and Chuo Lines). You’ll find a vast array of historical and
modern attractions, including: the Imperial Palace East Gardens (a large, spacious public park within the inner Palace grounds); Koishikawa
Korakuen (recognised as one of the best and oldest Japanese gardens); and Tokyo Dome (an entertainment complex that consists of an
amusement park, several restaurants and shops, the Tokyo Dome baseball stadium, and more).
And if you love shopping, Ginza (for high-end boutiques, department stores, restaurants, cafes and clubs) and Akihabara (for electronics and
manga/anime merchandise) are just a few train stops away.
