Hi there,

As long as it says JR Line, then it is covered :)

All Shinkansen lines are included as well. The metro is NOT covered.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi Doris,

Can you tell me where you saw FUJIKAWA 3? This looks to be a special train and not on the regular time table.

The Kodama and Odoriko train are covered, between Tokyo station and Ito station.

The Nozomi is indeed not covered, you can take the Hikari service instead.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi there,

The train is covered by the JR Pass. All lines it travels on are JR lines.

Keep in mind though that services from Kyoto are very limited.
