The transport ministry on Tuesday unveiled special transportation discounts for overseas tourists during the World Cup soccer championships, which start May 31.
In cooperation with Japan's three major airlines, the government will offer a single domestic flight to anywhere in Japan for 6,300 yen, half the usual 12,600 yen.
The Japan Railway group will sell a five-day train pass for unreserved seats on any JR line for about 20,000 yen, the land, infrastructure and transport minister said. That compares to the standard seven-day Japan Rail Pass that foreign tourists can buy for 28,300 yen.
