I ordered and received my 2 weeks exchange order. I arrive in Tokyo on 15 April 2025. When can I start making train/bus reservations? do I need to wait until I have the actual Pass?

Hi there,

Seat reservations can be made once you have activated the pass in Japan. This can be done at any ticket machine or ticket window.

Kind regards,
Daniel
