Travel in December

Hello,

1) FAQ stated that we could place orders 180 days before travel commences.
But I'm unable to place an order for 4 December 2023. (which is 176 days later)
How?

2) I clicked 30 November (currently the maximum farthest day). At the bottom of the booking page, it shows that "the pass might be dispatched" around 11-Sep-2023.
From 11-Sep-2023 to 30-Nov-2023, it's around 80 days.
So, is it safe to assume that all JR Passes will only be dispatched around 80 days prior to the arrival date? This is to give us a lead time of 10 days, considering JR Pass will expire after 90 days. Is it so?

Hi there,

The 180 days rule is due to the upcoming price change for the JR Pass, we won't be able to issue passes at the old price starting October. So all orders placed before then will have to be issued before the date.

In short, the information you write is correct.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel-san,

Thanks for your response!

Therefore, if I'm travelling on 4 Dec 2023, I have 2 ways:

  1. Place the order now > Select travel date as 30 Nov > Pay the original price > Dispatch date: 11 Sep, clock starts ticking > Exchange order arrives on 13 Sep (11 Sep-10 Dec is 90 days, therefore I can activate this exchange order on 4 Dec with no issue)

  2. Place the order around 20 September > Pay original price > Dispatch date: 21 Sep, clock start ticking > Exchange order arrives on 23 Sep (21 Sep-22 Dec is within my actual travel date)

Am I getting this correct?

Thanks for your patience.
