Some massive price increases coming in from October this year :
Ordinary car (Adult):
7 day: 33610 > 50000
14-day: 52960 > 80000
21-day: 66200 > 100000
Green car (Adult):
7 day: 44810 > 70000
14-day: 72310 > 110000
21-day: 91670 > 140000

I had already pre-purchased a pass for November at the old prices, but the passes can only be issued three months in advance. I fully expect an email asking for the difference. For me, it makes it not worth it and individual tickets would be cheaper - assuming the train prices in general aren’t increasing by 35% that is.
Wonder what the impact on tourism would be? It’s not a deal breaker, I wasn't saving much even with the 7 day pass going Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka-Tokyo.
