Hello there,

A limited express is a fast train service that also has reserved seats. All ltd. express trains run by JR are included in the JR Pass. The reason they are called limited, is because they only stop at major stations.

The JR Pass covers all of the above route and you are good to go!

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi,

I have a japan trip in July. We are going to arrive Narita airport at 5 pm if we start use our 7 days JRPass to use from Narita to Tokyo on 3/7/2016. Does that JRPass still valid on 10/7/2016 as we are going to travel back from Kyoto to Tokyo on the 10/7/2016.

Thanks

Hi there,

The JR Pass is counted in full days and the first day is counted as a full day, no matter what time you start using it.

The JR Pass would expire on the 9th if activated on the 3rd. Since travel from Kyoto - Tokyo is much more pricey than Narita Airport - Tokyo, use normal tickets to travel into Tokyo.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
