Point-to-Point Ticket
If you do not plan to travel all over Japan and plan to travel only from one station to another, it may be cheaper than the Japan Rail Pass and even the Regional Passes. We will help you to purchase JR tickets for all over Japan, and some private railway tickets. Purchasing in advance will prevent you from being fully booked and unable to board, and will prevent you from changing your itinerary on the day of your trip.
Four Steps to Purchase your Ticket
1. Tell us your Origin City and your Destination
Additional information such as dates, time of the day, number of travelers, traveler's age for children may be needed.
2. Learn more about various ticketing options
We will inform you of ticket prices and other information. If the rail pass is more advantageous, we will inform you the price of the rail pass too. Please pay with a credit card.
3. Purchase and Choose shipping method
We will purchase the ticket as ordered and send it to the address you specify. The delivery address is limited to a place in Japan. You can pick it up at the hotel you stay in before using the train or at the post office in the airport you use when you arrive in Japan.
4. Receive your ticket
Pick up your ticket when you arrive at the designated address.
Please Note :
A $25 service fee per person will be charged for arranging Point to Point ticket. The $25 fee includes domestic shipping charge in Japan.

Verdict:
As you can see, rail passes, which tend to seem cheaper, can be more expensive. However, while staying in Tokyo, there are many opportunities to move around using a JR pass, so if there is a slight price difference, the pass may be cheaper as a result,
when comparing the price of Point-to-Point tickets and the price of Rail Passes, do not forget to consider the length of your trip. The rail pass price increases as the duration increases, but the price of a Point-to-Point ticket does not change depending on the length of the trip. You may be able to save a lot of money by using a Regional Pass. Please contact us if you want a price comparison.
