Asakusa has no JR station but Asakusabashi
does. Ueno became terminal of JNR (former
JR) because Asakusa people denied the black
smoke of Steam-Locomotives when Japan National
Railway decided their north-bound-route (for
Tohoku region) in Meiji era.
Anyway, this ticket is similar to Seishun 18 Kippu but less area and more days are covered.
From March 1st to April 10th
From July 1st to September 30th
From December 10th to January 10th (2013)
You can ride unlimited local train (futsu)
and rapid train (kaisoku) on the following
lines for maximum 7 consecutive/straight
days. Please note that if you started using
this ticket on January 8th, you can only
use it until January 10th inclusive (only
valid for 3 days of 8th, 9th and 10th, but not for 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th , no refund is available). By the way,
Higashi Nihon is literally East Japan.

For example, it costs JPY1,780 round trip
from Ueno to Kamakura by non-discount JR
tickets, which is much more expensive compare
to the one day equivalent of Hokkaido&HigashiNihon
Pass (JPY10,000 devided by 7 would be around
JPY1,429).
Followings are just example of ONE WAY JR
ticket price by local train (or by rapid
train) from Ueno.

be JPY1,320 if you took Tobu private railway

it would be JPY1,000 or JPY1,200 if you took
