Activating JR Pass on Day Other than Arrival Date

Hi there,

I recommend reading How to exchange the JR Pass you can do so at he airport but there are many other stations as well.

You can also activate it at the airport and select a later first-day fo use.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thank you so much!

One further question: when do I select the "first-day for use"? Is that something I choose as I am buying the pass on this site? Or is that chosen when I exchange the voucher for my pass in Japan?

HI again,

This is when you exchange the JR Pass in JApan, you can also start making reservations from this moment.

Thanks so much!
