Hi Naren,

1.) A JR Pass can be used up to 90 days after purchase. You could buy one now if you wish.

2.) The base price in Yen is everywhere to same, agent however may charge a booking fee. We do not charge anything extra for the JR Pass, and shipping is only charged once per order.

3.) The JR Pass is best used for longer trips, a 7 day JR Pass is recommended if you could cover Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo with it.

4.) Otherwise I would use a 14 day JR Pass.

5.) The date of purchase is important is whether the child qualifies for discounted child fare, not the date when the JR Pass is exchanged. As long as he/she is below 12 when purchasing the JR Pass, its fine.

6.) There are only individual passes.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
