Eligibility for JR Rail Pass
You are a foreign tourist visiting Japan from abroad for sight-seeing, under the entry status of “temporary visitor”. Temporary Visitor entry status, according to Japanese Immigration Law, allows a stay in Japan of 15 days or 90 days for “sight-seeing, etc”. If you apply for a “stay for sight-seeing” when you enter Japan, entry personnel will stamp your passport as “Temporary Visitor”, as shown below. In order to receive or use JAPAN RAIL PASS, your passport must bear this stamp or sticker.

For Japanese Nationals, you’ll need to have lived outside of Japan for 10 years in order to purchase and use the JR Rail Pass.
