The JAPAN RAIL CLUB Snack Box lets you enjoy limited edition Japanese sweets without having to travel to the country. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the appeal of the JAPAN RAIL CLUB, as well as JR's discount travel vouchers.
The Snack Box, offered by JAPAN RAIL CLUB, is a subscription service that delivers a box filled with famous Japanese sweets every month. All boxes are shipped directly from Japan, allowing you to enjoy special sweets that are hard to find locally.
It also includes elements introducing Japanese culture and travel information, and is packed with ideas and mechanisms to make Japan feel closer to you.
Snackbox offers a variety of themed boxes each month, so customers never get bored. Each box is filled with unique snacks and local specialties from all over Japan, making it feel like you're traveling around the country without leaving your home.
In addition, the lineup of items that reflect the culture and climate of each region offers the joy of discovery through food. Discovering seasonal flavors and rare snacks unique to each region is sure to be a monthly treat.
JAPAN RAIL CLUB snack boxes are shipped directly from Japan, with free shipping within Asia. In particular, the fact that they offer local specialties and seasonal limited edition snacks that are hard to find in regular overseas markets is one of the reasons why they have so many repeat customers.
For example, they offer seasonal flavors, such as cherry blossom-flavored sweets in the spring and chestnut and sweet potato snacks in the fall. They also offer boxes that feature specific regions, allowing you to taste the unique characteristics of that area.
In spring, they created boxes themed around picnics and cherry blossom viewing, honey-based sweets, and autumn leaves. They have also created boxes with themes unique to Japan, such as Edo and train journeys.
JAPAN RAIL CLUB's snack boxes are not just snacks and gift drinks, but also provide information about travel and culture in Japan. Working closely with local Japanese snack manufacturers and suppliers, the boxes are carefully selected by JR East staff to provide a service that delivers the hidden charms of Japan.
Many of the snacks included are difficult to purchase outside of Japan, and the fact that they are not available overseas is another reason for their popularity. This allows you to enjoy a special gourmet experience like you would when traveling in Japan, without leaving the comfort of your own home.
The box also comes with a booklet with detailed information about the snacks, including ingredients and allergen information, so you can enjoy them without worry.
JAPAN RAIL CLUB offers a variety of plans, and the longer you choose a 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month plan, the greater the discount, making it a great deal.
You can also purchase the JR EAST PASS, which allows unlimited travel on the Shinkansen and JR East lines within the designated area. Tickets are currently on sale for the Tohoku, Nagano, and Niigata areas.
In addition to this, they also offer tours of Sendai's tourist attractions, as well as plans for skiing and other leisure experiences at great value, so be sure to check out not only the sweets but also the travel information.
A campaign is currently being held where members who sign up for the JAPAN RAIL CLUB 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month plan can purchase the aforementioned JR EAST PASS at a discount.
This is your chance to get great deals on Shinkansen and JR East lines in the Tohoku, Nagano and Niigata areas, which are currently on sale.
Exclusively for JAPAN RAIL CLUB members, you can participate in Japan travel seminars held in Taiwan.
The seminar will introduce the latest travel information and ways to make the most of train deals, as well as provide detailed explanations of hidden spots and local gourmet food not listed in tourist guides.
It is also packed with practical advice to make the most of your trip, providing participants with knowledge that will be useful to them once they get to their destination.
You can enjoy it as if you were at a home party, and get useful information while savoring the buffet-style food.
