Nagasaki
Beppu

My question is: which lines can I use, using the Rail Pass??
Thank You Very Much!!!

Dear Raul,

Yes, you can use the Japan Rail Pass for travel to all the destinations you mention.

Although you can get to Matsuyama via the seto-ohashi bridge from near Okayama and then travelling across Shikoku, I imagine you will be using the Ferry from Hiroshima or Kokura to Matsuyama. If you do intend to travel to Matsuyama by ferry please note that you will have to pay a separate charge for this crossing. Here is more information about [Seto-naikai-sen ferry services from Hiroshima to Matsuyama], and the crossing from Kokura to Matsuyama.

You can look up train timetables and costs for all of your legs at the Hyperdia travel planning website and learn how to use Hyperdia for Japan Rail Pass holders through our video blog.

Hope this helps and you have a great trip!

Hi Raul,

Sounds great! I wasn't sure if the Beppu - Matsuyama ferry was still operating so that's good to know. From Matsuyama to Osaka you will be fine to travel on JR using this sample itinerary. The trip over the Seto Ohashi bridge is really great - I hope you enjoy it!

Do you know if the JR pass offers any other discounts on ferries in Japan? I'm thinking specifically of Beppu-Yawatahama and Tokushima - Wakayama.
