I went to japan 2 years ago and purchased a jr pass then and it had my middle name on my ticket since my middle is also on my passport. Did they update it to no longer needed a middle name?

Hi there,
JR requires that first and last names match the passport exactly. Middle names are not required and will not be considered.
I hope this helps!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
