• Seishun 18 ticket ; budget-friendly train pass for 5 days unlimited rides; black-out dates & restrictions apply; *Note: The Seishun 18 is a nice option if you`re on a super tight budget, but in our opinion there are just too many train line restrictions, very limited date-ranges during busy school holiday periods and lines available for use are not time-effective if your goal is to ski-snowboard and/or visit multiple regions. Bullet trains (shinkansen) are not included on Sesishun 18, making this rail ticket the long albeit scenic route around Japan.
