Japan Rail Pass Prices To Rise From October 1, 2026

JR links the move to recent fare changes at regional rail companies.

Overview

  • JR Group will lift Japan Rail Pass rates from October 2026, with a 7-day Standard set at 53,000 yen and a 7-day Green Car at 74,000 yen.
  • The 21-day pass will cost 105,000 yen for Standard seats and 147,000 yen for Green Car seats.
