I will stay 9 days in Japan, and I have ordered a 7-day JR pass. If I start to use my JR Pass at 11 am on 2/17/2019, will my pass expire at 11 am on 2/24/19?

Hi there,

The JR Pass is counted in days, not hours. The first day is counted as a full day. I.e. if you start using it on a Monday, then the last day of use if the following Sunday.

Kind regards,
Daniel

You answered my question perfectly! Thank you very much!

I will stay in Tokyo for two days before I can use my JR Pass. What will be the best ways to travel around Tokyo without using JR Train?
