Re: Japan Rail pass

Just discovered that you cannot purchase Japan Rail passes in Japan. My
mistake, should have read the website. Is there really no way to get a
Japan Rail pass in Japan, perhaps through some sort of Internet
purchase? I noticed that they sell a Japan Rail pass east which covers
eastern Honshu. Is it an option to purchase a number of separate passes?

The only way to get a Japan Rail Pass after arriving in Japan is to have someone else bring one in from outside the country for you.
Both JR East and JR West offer passes which cover their respective regions, and I think these are obtainable within Japan. If you can give details of your planned itinerary, people here might be able to suggest the best alternatives.
