JR East announced a brand-new rail pass called Kyun Pass, a single-day all-you-can-ride ticket for all lines operated by JR East, including the Tohoku, Joetsu, and Hokuriku shinkansen lines. Though the pass doesn't cover the archetypal golden itinerary of Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka-Hiroshima, it does give you access to attractively less-crowded travel destination gems such as Aomori, Sendai, Kanazawa, Nagano, Niigata, and Morioka, and at a price of just 10,000 JPY.
The Kyun Pass allows you to reserve two seats in advance for the day you'll be using it and also provides unlimited rides on many non-JR lines that connect to the JR East network (Aoimori Railway, IGR Iwate Ginga Railway, Sanriku Tetsudo, Hokuetsu Express, and Echigo Tokimeki Railway [between Naoetsu and Arai Stations]). The Kyun Pass also gives you discounts at JR's in-station New Days convenience stores and select station-adjacent rental car agency branches, in case you're going even further afield than the train tracks can take you. The Kyun Pass can be used between 14 February and 14 March and goes on sale on 14 January through JR East's Eki Net online ticketing site (the pass must be activated no sooner than 14 days and no more than one month after purchase).

JR East announces cheap one-day all-you can ride pass, shinkansen included
It was a sad day for travelers last April when Japan Railways announced that it was raising the price of the JR Pass, the rail pass that provided unlimited travel on all JR-operated lines in Japan. With JR passes having risen as much as 77 percent, it’s a lot harder to…
