Do I have to activate my JR pass right a way?

This is my first time using a JR Pass and I'm looking at getting the 14 day pass with a pocket Wifi.

I'll be in Japan for 18 days but the first 4 days I won't need to use the JR pass because I will be visiting friends and family.
Is there anyway I can pick up the Pocket Wifi right away when I get there and activate the JR Pass in the next three days?

Thanks

Hi there,

Yes, you can select your own starting date when activating the JR Pass in Japan, so you do not have to start using it right away when you arrive.

Kind regards,
Daniel
