What's included?
- Unlimited travel on the Hokuriku Shinkansen (Tokyo to Kanazawa), using ordinary car reserved seats. This includes the super fast Kagayaki Shinkansen.
- Travel on limited express trains, and local trains and all Tokyo Monorail lines within the free usage area.
- Local travel on JR lines in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.
Limitations and things to keep in mind
- Travel on the Haruka express to Kansai Airport is included but only non-reserved.
- The Tokaido Shinkansen is not included, this means that travelers who wish to make a return between Tokyo - Osaka/Kyoto have to travel both ways via the Hokuriku Arch, this adds a significant amount of extra travel time.
