If a buy a JR pass is there a certain period in which I have to use it , for example could I hold on to it for say one year before using it in Japan ?
JR Pass Validity period
Hi there,
Any JR Pass has to be activated within 90 days of purchase. You would have to get a new one or have it re-issued if you decide to take longer.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
Thanks Daniel-San.
Can you please confirm if I can get it re-issued then it will not cost any more money ?
Hi again,
Having it re-issued does mean that you will have to pay a re-issue fee. This is generally 15% of the ticket.
