This is known as the Welcome to Japan Fare.

JAL also offers another discount fare for overseas visitors, the ''Welcome to Japan Fare''.　First introduced in 1997, this fare offers domestic flights at the fixed rate of 12,600 yen per sector, including tax. It can be used to all cities in Japan served by JAL and its subsidiaries, JAL Express (JEX) and Japan TransOcean Air (JTA). This fare is also available overseas only and is not on sale in Japan.

A key difference between the ''Welcome to Japan Fare'' and the new JAL ''Yokoso Japan'' Airpass, is that travelers using the original ''Welcome to Japan Fare'' can use JAL or any other airline serving Japan for their international flights to and from Japan, whereas the new, lower priced, JAL ''Yokoso Japan'' Airpass is available only to travelers using JAL Group flights to and from Japan.
