BESTWhen planning a trip to the Tohoku region, transportation costs were the biggest concern, but the East Japan Pass solved the problem. I made a reservation in advance through Wag and exchanged it right away at the JR East ticket office upon arrival in Japan. You can also freely choose the start date, so it fits your travel schedule perfectly. You can use most trains, including Shinkansen and limited express trains, without restrictions for 5 days. I traveled to Sendai, Aomori, Morioka, and Niigata without any burden. It was convenient because I could board right away in the unreserved seats and reserved seats could be issued without additional fees.
What if you are traveling from Tokyo to Tohoku?
JR East Japan Pass 5-day pass (Tohoku area)
The JR East Pass, which allows you to travel freely in the Tohoku area for 5 days, is a pass that allows unlimited use of not only trains but also buses, regardless of the number of times you board them. In particular, Tohoku has many famous tourist attractions, so it is recommended for travelers who want a leisurely and leisurely trip.
I recommend it to these people
1. Those who want to go to the Tohoku region by Shinkansen or those who want to travel to areas near Sendai such as Kitsune Village.
2. Those who want to travel to more of the Tohoku region by Shinkansen, such as Yamagata Zao, Akita Shirakami, Aomori Oirase, etc.
3. Those who want to tour areas near Tokyo such as Shinjuku, Akihabara, and Kamakura
If the above applies to you, I highly recommend the JR East Pass!

Even a round trip from Tokyo Station to Sendai Station is cheaper!
If one adult uses the Tohoku Shinkansen (Tokyo Station - Sendai Station) with a reserved seat, a round-trip transportation fee of approximately 22,000 yen is required. If you use the JR East Pass (Tohoku area), you can use the aforementioned transportation methods and unlimited hop-on and hop-off in the Tokyo and Sendai areas for just 18,000 yen, making it even more economical!
