Hi, please help.
We are looking forward to visit Japan in October 2023.
Just wonder if we purchase the JRPass online before travelling, how long do we have before we need to activate the Pass.
For example: Buy in July 2023, can be activate on October?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Kev,

The JR Pass has to be activated within 3 months of issue date, there are no other restrictions.

Kind regards,
Daniel
