Hello.
Is the one-day pass available to purchase at one of the “handling stations” mentioned on the flyer above? Or those stations are for pick up only?
Can I purchase online?
Hello,
Yes, you can purchase this pass at only 6 stations on Izu-kyuko line as follows.
ＪＲ Ｉtō station（6：30～20：00）、 Ｉzu-Ｋōgen station（5：10～23：51）
Ｉzu-Ａtagawa station（7：10～19：00）、 Ｉzu-Ｉnatori station（5：50～23：18）、
Ｋawazu station（7：10～19：00）、 Ｉzukyū-Ｓhimoda station（5：15～23：37）
There is no online system to purchase this pass.
You have to go to the stations by yourself directly.
Can I buy the pass and use inbound direction? – For instance: Ride from Shimoda to Ito station?
I’m planning to stay at Ito for 4 days in April, I’m thinking to buy “JR East 3 days pass” and buy this one day pass for my 4 days there.
Hello, Stephanie,
Thank you for waiting for my reply.
If you would like to go to Shimoda city by train during your stay in Ito city, this pass would be better than the normal ticket. Because, as I wrote on our blog, the normal ticket for one way is 1,620 yen, but this pass is only 1,000 yen and you can stop many times at any stations you would like to go only between Ito station and Izukyu-Shimoda station.
But please make it sure that this pass is available for only one day.
I asked Izukyu-Shimoda station about this pass by phone calling today and he said this pass would be on sale.
When you buy this pass you have to show them your passport at the ticket counter.
Have a nice travel in Izu peninsula and Japan!
Thank you.

Hello, Sari,
I answer your questions below.

#2 Yes, you can take only non-reserved seats of local and rapid trains, and non-reserved seats on limited express trains Odoriko (not Super View Odoriko) with the pass.
Here is a website of Izukyu company and a PDF file for one day pass and two day pass on the internet.

#3 If you would like to take Super View Odoriko, you have to buy the normal ticket. Because 1 day pass or 2 day pass are not available for the Super View Odoriko train.

additional fee for reserved seat on Super View Odoriko 510 yen
Thank you.
