Greetings,
I`m planning my trip to japan in May 2025 and I want to buy a regional pass (kasai + Hiroshima)
I was wondering if I were to buy it today (february) will I be able to use it in May when I arrive to japan?
Or should I wait to buy it like in april or in may?
My cofusion is becase you can also buy this pases in pages like Klook and they put an expiration date but here I dont see any
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
Yes, you can order the Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass now for your trip in May. We also take advance orders up to 6 months in advance.
The Exchange Order is valid for exchange in Japan for 3 months from the issue date. This means you can exchange your voucher for the actual JR Pass at any time within this 3-month period.
I hope this helps!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
