It is available to all foreign tourists visiting Japan and allows unlimited travel on any train operated by Japan Rail during your stay (including the Shinkansen which links most major cities in Japan, though some restrictions do apply). The Japan Rail Pass can only be purchased outside Japan - please make sure to purchase them in your country before your arrival.
There are two types of JAPAN RAIL PASS: Green (for seats in superior-class Green cars), and Ordinary (for normal-class seats),. A 7-day, 14-day, or 21-day Pass is available for each of these.
