You can buy your Japan Rail Pass via this website in a few easy steps. Once your online order is confirmed, we send your Exchange Order (JR voucher) by post. You can receive it either home before you leave or have it delivered to your temporary residence in Japan. The voucher needs to be exchanged for the actual rail pass once you are in Japan, within three (3) months of when the Exchange Order is issued.
A Japan Rail Pass can be valid for either 7, 14 or 21 consecutive days. Once you receive the Japan Rail Pass Exchange voucher, you will be able to exchange it within the following 3 months.
Because the validity period of the JR Pass is 3 consecutive months we will pause the delivery and issue of your Exchange Order until a month before your trip.
