How to use it
The pass runs for 3 consecutive days, from 0:00 on the first day to 24:00 on the last. If it runs out while you are on a train, you can finish that trip as long as you don't leave the station.
Reserve seats before you board, at a ticket machine or ticket office. Some trains have reserved seats only. Carry your passport with the pass, as staff may ask to see it.
Before you buy
The pass is for holders of a foreign passport who enter Japan as a Temporary Visitor. Japanese nationals can't use it, even with permanent residence abroad. You can hold only one of the same pass for the same dates.
It is sold only as an e-ticket by travel agencies outside Japan. Exchange it for the pass in Japan within 3 months, showing your passport. If you fly into Yonago Airport, go to Yonago Station to exchange it.
Refunds: an unused pass can be refunded for 10% of the price, at least ¥220. An e-ticket goes back to the overseas agency that sold it; a pass already issued can only be refunded at an exchange office in Japan. There are no refunds once the pass is in use.
