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.

Failure of responsibility JR Pass failed to collect and pass on the required information for the package (family of 5 so a high transaction value) to be cleared by South Korean customs. As a result the package was delayed and consequently arrived after we'd left the country. If we'd cancelled the order we lose 20% so I managed through the kindness of strangers to get it rerouted, delivered, picked up and sent to another address. If your service is sending packages around the world, at least know what the requirements are for the country it's being sent to! Highly stressful to say the least and we still have to hope the package turns up!

Positive experience Has a wide range of JR passes available on that website which are all easy to purchase. The passes arrived a few days after I ordered them as expected and exchanging them in Japan was very straightforward.

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

Smooth, 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.
