Late arrivals

Hi Anne,

You can activate your JR Pass at Narita Airport between 6:30 and 21:45. This should be enough to get your pass activated if you arrive around 20:00. However keep in mind that your JR Pass is counted in full days and you would use 1 entire day of your JR Pass if you activate it at 20:00. A better option may be to use a 1,500 Narita Express ticket and use the JR Pass at a later time.

For travel to Nikko on the 20th, I checked the time table but unfortunately it will be impossible to Nikko at that time. A better option would be stay in Yokohama/Tokyo and travel on the following morning.

As for the JR Pass, it would offer you amazing value if you use it for travel to Nikko - Kyoto - Hiroshima in Tokyo. I'd suggest a 7 day pass for you and use the 1,500yen ticket (mentioned earlier) for your arrival.

Hope this helps!
Daniel
