The JR Pass is exceptionally not worth… The JR Pass is exceptionally not worth it. Besides not actually being much (if at all) of a savings, the process to get it is asinine, inefficient and overly complicated. Good luck trying to pick it up in Japan, too - be prepared for lines that are 2 hours or longer, worse when they are short staffed (which they often are). There are multiple JR offices/counters at each train station and each offer partial services but will mostly just send you somewhere else for what you actually need. If you ever do finally get through to the correct counter, don’t expect any help from their rude staff. Dealing with JR Pass was the absolute worst part of our experience in Japan and I highly encourage you to avoid it at all costs.

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!

Not the best, yet fair Absolute scam. We paid two 14-day passes and they told us they would ship them to our hotel in Tokyo. We never got them and they are not even replying to emails anymore. Absolute scammers, never buy from this company, they are just a middleman!!! EDIT: AFTER A WEEK OF NOT RESPONDING TO EMAILS AND US HAVING SENT MULTIPLE MESSAGES TO PLEASE REFUND US, THEY MADE A 100% REFUND ALSO WITH SHIPPING COSTS.

Positive 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.

Awful shady practices Awful. Website says if you spend over $880, you get up to 50% discount on your shipping price. Despite this we paid the full $23 for shipping to Australia. They email me days later saying they’ve put my order on hold because they decided it costs an ADDITIONAL $45 to be shipped. $68 shipping total when I already spent $1100. Ridiculous. Cancelled my order and bought it from Klook where it was $97 less that JRPass, and that was before their awful bull crap extra shipping charges.
