The Japan Rail Pass MCO has to be exchanged in Japan for a rail pass within 90 days of purchase. If you try to exchange it past this date, they will decline your request and you wont be able to use your JR Pass. Therefore we usually suggest to order the rail pass 3-4 weeks before your departure to Japan. It’s enough time to sort transportation errors as well as enough time if your flight get’s canceled or rebooked. We do however have as policy, to ship out your Japan Rail Pass as early as the next workday.

Your Japan Rail Pass is an ‘open-purchase’ for 1 year, meaning you can request a refund of 85% of the cost of the original Japan Rail Pass purchase minus shipping fee, if proof can be provided it has not been issued yet and is returned physically to our office. The pass has to be shipped back to us before we can start the refund process.
