Dears - I'm landing in Japan on September 1st but I will need the JR Pass from September 4th only. May I exchange for my JR Pass on September 1 when I arrive at airport but make it with effective from September 4th to avoid losing days?
Thanks

Hi there,
Yes, you can set your own starting date when you exchange the JR Pass (no need to start using it right away).
Kind regards,
Daniel
