Hi there,

There seem to be a lot of sites "explaining" Japanese train passes. Can anyone share their favourite bookmarks? Which ones are the best?

Thanks.

I like this guide to rail passes. It is good for long distance passes. http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2357.html

There are also local train passes good for unlimited rides within a metro area. I normally opt for fare cards like IO or Passnet instead.

Yeah, for in-town stuff just grab one of each card and save yourself some hassle. That japan-guide site is a good one for other stuff.
