Fast delivery and on time, I liked how easy it is to communicate with them, we were able to take full advantage of the days in Japan. Thank you very much jrailpass.com for making it possible for us to visit so many places. This service is really good. The trains are very clean and quiet. Also their Pocket Wifi service is super good for long trips. We stayed in Japan 1 week and the 7 days pass was great for us. I highly recommend it!!! The team at Jrailpass was incredibly responsive to my questions and concerns, making the entire experience stress-free. They were knowledgeable and helpful, guiding me through the process and ensuring that I had all the information that I needed.Our clients feedback
