Hi,
If I activate my JR pass on 4/18 at 8:00AM can I still use it on 4/24 at 8:00PM.?
Thanks

Hi there,

The JR Pass is counted in days (not hours) and the first day is counted as a full day (no matter what time you start using it). So activating the JR Pass on 4/18, means it's valid all day on the 24th and expires at midnight.

Kind regards,
Daniel
