Hi,
I'm a Canadian traveling in Japan in two weeks with the intention of getting a JR pass. I will also be applying for an Indian visa while I'm there and they would require that I leave my passport with them. During my last experience traveling with the JR pass, the station staff asked me to show my passport.
Does anyone know with certainty if I can travel with a copy of my passport instead of the original?
Doing a search on google, the responses varied from people traveling without ever being asked while others are frequently asked (not just at stations but randomly elsewhere).
Thanks!
Shawn
