Highly Recommend (July 2022) I used JRpass.com in July 2022 to obtain 4 adult Japan Rail passes. The entire process went very smoothly, from order through delivery. We received the passes in the mail in the US in just a few days, with frequent notifications as the process advanced. The process for exchanging the pass at Narita airport was very straightforward. I highly recommend using this site!

Scam Middleman This is a scam. At best they are an unnecessary middle man that makes getting a pass more expensive, more time consuming, and less convenient. Passes can be purchased online directly from JR and then picked up at any vending machine with a passport reader. Purchasing through jrpass.com means you pay a higher price, you pay to have a voucher mailed to you, then, once in Japan, you must go to a specific kind of JR office (of which there are relatively few), you must wait in an often long line to exchange your “voucher” for an actual pass. Don’t fall for it. Don’t waste your time or your money.

Resisted giving full refund for pass delivered too late The website said had enough time to deliver the pass before travelling, but I paid extra for next day delivery. It did not come for a week, by which time I had already departed for Japan. The company then tried to only give a partial refund. They eventually agreed after multiple messages to pay full refund and postal costs, but then in the end refused to pay for the registered mail to return the pass (which they insisted we use if wanted any money back at all). Very disappointing.

SCAM MIDDLEMAN PRETENDING TO BE… SCAM MIDDLEMAN PRETENDING TO BE OFFICIAL SITE! When I tried to book my seats, I discovered the real site for JR Rail Pass (I was not able to book seats, as I had not ordered from the real site).....so frustrating!! Trying to get my money back now

Order with confidence! Hard to tell which service in UK is legit as the official Japanrailpass.net site doesn’t provide weblinks for official 3rd party global resellers and the reviews for the usual Google sites seem to vary A LOT! Decided to go with JRPASS.COM *only* because they had an active forum. Ordered the passes (in London) and received the jrpass within 2 days! Slightly more expensive, but when you are parting with over £400 for a rail pass, an extra £10 was worth it. Definitely recommend if you are new to this.
