The JR Tokyo Wide Pass is about the only pass that non-tourists (i.e. non-Japanese residents in Japan) can take advantage of. You can buy it in Japan and rack up huge savings with it. And actually, very few regional passes must be bought outside of Japan. But for JR West, you can get a small discount for doing so.

It is cool that I can just go to Japan and buy this Jr Wide pass on the airport in Japan..

Just want to ask what bullet train(Shinkansen) JR Wide pass covers?
I looked up on the map of usage area and it is a lot of names of lines and trains but a bit confusing now for me to figure it out:)
