Hi there,

The JR Pass is valid on all ltd express trains operated by JR. I don't have a full list but I can let you know for sure if you have any train name services (liek Hokuto).

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Debbie,

These are all ocvered by the JR Pass. Rapid services are just local lines that don't stop at every station and covered by the JR Pass as well.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
