Fare examples within the app's route area
For the reasons below, we do not give a ride count to break even for this pass. The table shows examples priced within the app's route area only.
- Calculated for: JR West
- Part of the pass's coverage lies outside the app's route area.
We priced trips between representative stations on the lines this pass covers, using the app's fare engine. “Without pass” is the IC fare of the cheapest route between the two stations; “With pass” is what you still pay for the parts the pass does not cover, on the route that costs you least while holding the pass.

Method: from the stations on the pass's lines, we pick section end stations first, then stations with the most connecting lines, then stations close to sightseeing spots in the app (up to 6, one per transfer group), price every pair (up to 15) departing 2026-12-01 at 10:00 for one adult, and keep only the trips where the pass saves money. The median is the middle value of those savings.

Please note
Fares and pass prices are for reference only. Actual prices and conditions follow each railway operator's official information. Please check the official information before buying tickets or passes. JTPass is not an official app of any railway operator.
“Unverified” marks values the app has not yet confirmed from official sources (for example, JR fares calculated from Wikipedia operating distances, or ticket fares used where the IC fare has not been collected). Such fares are estimates.
Why values on this page are marked “Unverified”:
- The JR IC fare has not been collected yet; the ticket fare is used.
- JR special section fares have not been collected yet; the distance-based fare (operating km) is used.
- Part of the JR distance comes from a non-official source (Wikipedia).
Line names are shown in Japanese, with the operator's English name in parentheses.
