Hi there, I am planing to get the 7-day pass. I want to take the night time train on the 7th day night aournd 22:34 and arrive at the destination on 7:00am on the 8th day. Can I do that? Does the expiration count on the departure time or arrival time? Thanks!

Hi there,

The JR Pass is counted in days and not hours. Meaning that if you start the JR Pass on a Monday then the last day of validity is the following Sunday.

That said, you are allowed to finish a train ride if you board the train before midnight without any additional charge.
