Transport in Sendai

A rail pass allows you to travel throughout the regions of Japan. You can reserve your seat in advance before your travel date, allowing you to travel according to your plan. It's easy to redeem, delivered to your home, and you can exchange the exchange order at the airport immediately. It's convenient, fast, and problem-free.

JR pass is very convenient and very reliable. You can travel unlimited on all JR trains including Shinkansen. This is a must-have especially to someone like me with difficulty in following cardinal directions. In case you went to a wrong platform, just go until you find the correct platform. You don't need to worry on buying another ticket.

I bought this 6-day Tohoku-South Hokkaido Rail Pass to explore Hokkaido, and it paid for itself with just the round trip from Tokyo to Hakodate, so it's very useful. However, be aware that this pass offers different benefits compared to the 5-day JR East Pass; this 6-day pass doesn't include JR buses. As a result, we had to pay extra for the highway buses from Morioka to Miyako and from Kuji to Ninohe, which wasn't cheap.
