Activation Date and Return

Hi there,

If your ticket was issued on 7 March, the final start date for your JR Pass is 5 July 2026. You’ll need to exchange your ticket in Japan within three months of the issue date, and you can choose an activation date up to one month ahead of time.

Also, we provide a Cancellation Protection Service (subject to a charge), and you can find the full details in our Terms and Conditions here.

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Mariko
