    Japan Rail Pass refund policy explained

    Plans change. Here is exactly when your Japan Rail Pass can be refunded, how much it costs and what to do if you already exchanged the voucher in Japan.

    01

    Refunds for unused vouchers

    A voucher that has not been exchanged in Japan can be returned to GetJRPass for a refund within 12 months from the order date.

    An administrative fee of 15 percent of the order value applies, plus a late processing fee of 35 euro if the return arrives within 30 days of the voucher expiry.

    02

    After the voucher is exchanged

    • Once swapped for the physical pass in Japan, refunds are not possible.
    • If you decide not to use the pass after activation, the time still counts down.
    03

    How to start a refund

    • Email our support team with your order number and the voucher.
    • Return the physical voucher by tracked post.
    • We refund to the original payment method once the voucher is received and verified.
