The Japan Airlines Group is introducing a new discount domestic air fare for overseas visitors to Japan, the JAL ''Yokoso (Welcome) Japan'' Airpass. There is also the "Welcome to Japan" Airpass.

The new fare can be used to 42 cities in Japan served by JAL and two regional subsidiaries, JAL Express (JEX), based in Itami Airport, Osaka, and Japan TransOcean Air (JTA), based in Naha, Okinawa.

A key difference between the ''Welcome to Japan Fare'' and the new JAL ''Yokoso Japan'' Airpass, is that travelers using the original ''Welcome to Japan Fare'' can use JAL or any other airline serving Japan for their international flights to and from Japan, whereas the new, lower priced, JAL ''Yokoso Japan'' Airpass is available only to travelers using JAL Group flights to and from Japan.
