What Is the JAPAN RAIL CLUB?
Japan is famous for its extensive rail networks and trains that are not only clean and comfortable but even run on time, thanks to the polished efficiency of the JR Group (Japan Railways). But these days, train schedules aren't the only thing you'll find JR running! From JR EAST (JR's eastern subsidiary), the JAPAN RAIL CLUB offers special benefits tailored to the interests of Japan lovers from around the world, offering both free and paid memberships. Benefits range from the latest Japanese sightseeing and railway news to regular deliveries of Japanese snacks gathered from around Japan's 47 prefectures, and club members can even look forward to exclusive members-only events – online or in-person the next time they travel to Japan. Whether you're planning a trip to Japan, or still basking in the afterglow of your last Japanese adventure, if you're looking for ways to stay connected with everything you love about Japan, this unique service from JR EAST is a fun and easy way to do it.

For Paid Members
If getting Japanese snacks and souvenirs delivered to your doorstep sounds like a dream come true, you might want to consider becoming a paying member of the JAPAN RAIL CLUB. Souvenir culture is strong in Japan, and locals have a deep love for "omiyage" (お土産), which are usually snacks or other regional items brought back home for friends and family. The JAPAN RAIL CLUB monthly subscription box for paying members is like a box of souvenirs from all over Japan, with a selection of curated snacks carefully chosen each month by JR East staff in Japan. JR train stations are basically the go-to place to pick up omiyage in Japan anyway, so you know these JR East experts know what to look for! Each month gets its own seasonal theme, and each subscription box is subsequently filled with a variety of snacks from around Japan's 47 prefectures, often including rare locally-made treats you can't find outside of Japan. Past boxes have included locally-grown teas, handmade rice crackers, Japanese coffee and chocolates, fruit-filled pastries, traditional wagashi sweets, and much more! If you love Japan so much you find yourself missing the country as soon as you get home, these deliveries for JAPAN RAIL CLUB members promise a little dose of Japan every month!
The popular subscription box isn't the only perk of being a paying JAPAN RAIL CLUB member! JR East also has a whole variety of exclusive events in the works, many of which will be limited only to JAPAN RAIL CLUB members. Other JR East events open to the public will also grant club members priority when it comes to buying tickets or reserving a spot! The special event schedule for JAPAN RAIL CLUB members is set to include unique JR tours, special viewing opportunities at JR railway workshops (or "rolling stock centers"), and even online tours of Japanese sightseeing spots, so you can enjoy a little bit of Japan even from the comfort of your sofa. Club members get access to events they can enjoy from home, and special event opportunities worth planning a trip to Japan around!
Ready to become a paying JAPAN RAIL CLUB member? We recommend signing up as a free member first thing, to make it easier to manage your account, and make sure you're on the mailing list too.
