JR West Revises Sales of Special Discount Tickets, Expands WESTER Point Services

West Japan Railway Company (JR West Japan) will implement changes to the sales and conditions of its special promotional tickets.

For purchases made on and after April 1, the Hokuriku Shinkansen segment between Tsuruga and Itoigawa stations, as well as the limited express Thunderbird and Shirasagi plus the Hokuriku Shinkansen between Tsuruga and Toyama stations, will be newly included in the scope of the “WESTER Point Limited Express Ticket” and “WESTER Point Upgrade (Green Car).” In addition, selected sections of the Rapid Marine Liner (between Okayama and Kojima/Sakaide/Takamatsu stations, and between Takamatsu and Kojima/Sakaide stations) will be added to the “WESTER Point Reward Ticketless” service. Furthermore, products for the Sanyo Shinkansen and limited express trains will be revised so that their sales prices reflect seasonal pricing.

For travel on and after March 14, Maibara and Nagahama departures/arrivals using the Hokuriku Shinkansen and Shirasagi will be newly added to the “Hokuriku–Kansai Ticketless” and “Hokuriku–Kansai Ticketless (Early Purchase 7)” products. A Green Car option will also be added to the “Hokuriku–Kansai Ticketless” product.

Sales of the “Super Hayatoku Kippu” (Super Early-Bird Ticket) will be discontinued for some sections that span both the Sanyo and Kyushu Shinkansen. Only tickets to and from Oita and Nagasaki will have their sales period extended.

Sales will end for products for Otonabi members, three products for J-WEST Card members (“e-Kippu” and “e-Ticketless Limited Express Ticket”), “Super Hayatoku 21,” the “Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Kippu,” and some year-round and limited-period products.
