Most passes are now electronic, making them very convenient to buy. However, not all systems support them equally well. Kintetsu Pass has been the best for me, better than JR West and the Hakone Free Pass.
It's simple to use and easy to operate. Even though I bought the ticket on short notice, I was able to use it very quickly.
