AUFailure 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!

GBWorst experience in my life Worst experience in my life! My husband paid 2000 usd for two passes for 14 days. For 2000 usd you would expect some level of service, instead we got more headache! First you have to queue to get them at the airport. Second when you get toTokyo station, you queue again to exchange them for actual ticket. Customer support rep did not even bother checking we are first class. Next available train was in 7h….no explanation, all signes in Japanese, good luck finding the place you are looking for. My suggestion - save your money and queue once!

GBOrder 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.

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.

CAUseless scam I purchased the pass for myself and my daughter before our trip to Japan, I requested the pass to be shipped to our hotel in Tokyo, the pass was delayed and didn’t arrive till 4 days into our stay in Tokyo, when contacted JRPASS they advised I contact FedEx and inquire about there whereabouts of the passes!!! As a customer in a foreign country I had to make phone calls to fedex to try and have the passes delivered before we leave Tokyo to Osaka. All and all the JRPass useless, extremely overpriced and not necessary at all, in my opinion buying it was a scam. I contacted the JRPass and expressed the above and requested a refund due to their failures, they brushed off my request. The pass doesn’t give you 30% of what it promises! Don’t buy it! But your daily passes as you go and forget about this scam!
