FOREIGN TRAVELERS
The JR West Rail Pass is a special discount ticket for persons who have a passport issued by a government or other authority outside Japan, as well as customers who have come to Japan with "Temporary Visitor" residence status (15-day period of stay). However, persons from countries with visa exemptions, such as the United States, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Sweden, and New Zealand can buy the pass even with a 90-day period of stay in Japan.

The "Temporary Visitor" entry status/stamp is the only valid stamp which will qualify travelers to use the JR West Rail Pass. According to Japanese Immigration Law, "Temporary Visitor" status allows a traveler to stay for up to 90 days.

You must also have an Embarkation/Disembarkation Card for departure from Japan, as well as a return ticket of airline or ship.
