SISmooth, fast and professional service, worthy of a real and honest review I feel a moral duty to inform other website visitors that the site is completely legal and authentic. In fact I was really scared because of some negative reviews here at Trustpilot. The site completely fulfills its mission and provides the advertised service - it sells vouchers for Japan Rail Passes, foreigners are supposed to exchange for the real ones, when they arrive in Japan. This is a standard procedure for non-Japanese residents. I bought 2 vouchers on May 17th. The next day I was informed they were handed to FedEx. On May 18th I received them in my mailbox. So... no problems. Everything was exceptional. Besides that... the page is full of useful and informative articles. Highly reccomend.

SGScam 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.

GBHighly 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!

AUIgnoring me and Misinformation on the activation date Misinformation on the activation date The website states that it can be purchased 180 days in advance. since my travel date was more than 3 months after the purchase date. I wanted to take advantage of the current pricing before the price increase in October. I emailed their customer support and received confirmation that this was possible and was told to contact them back to change the date once I made my purchase. As soon as I finished my transaction I sent an email and asked to change the activation date. I didn't hear back for a few days, so I sent another email. 3 days later no reply stil and reading similar reviews!!!, how do I get a refund when you ignore me!

GBPositive experience from UK. Recommend. I felt compelled to write a positive review for these guys as it's very difficult to decide which site to use for the Japan Rail Pass. I received the tickets through within 2 days and the customer service even responded just after I'd ordered the tickets to add my middle name to it which I'd mistakenly omitted. There are some retailers who would ask you to cancel and re-order again, but not these guys. Very good service. Highly recommend.
