If I order the 7 day JR pass...does it become active the first day I use it? and then 7 days later it becomes inactive? Or when I order when I say a date it is set for that date and have to use it starting that date and it expires after 7 days? Thanks!

Hi there,
Yes, it starts counting down from the 1st day that you activate it.
This can be done within any day in a 3 month period after purchase.
