Hi there,

My first time in Japan :)
Japan trip 6-15 Oct.
Can I use the 7 day JR pass for NRT airport to Tokyo on Oct 6 (Day 1) and go to Osaka in the next few days then go back to Tokyo on Oct 14?

Is the JR pass counted from the first day of activation and counted even though we didn't use the JR pass on that day at all, or only on the day that the pass was used?

Regard,
Ty

Hi there,

The JR Pass is counted in consecutive days, meaning it starts counting day each day from the first day of use, even if you do not use it.

Hope this answers your question.
