Hello there,

The JR Pass expires at midnight of the last day of usage. However you are allowed the finish the train ride, given that you boarded the train before midnight. Any train rides after will require normal fares. To avoid confusion, be sure to reserve the seats for the entire route ahead of departure.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
