When can I activate my JR Pass once I have redeemed it?
Here's what the redemption process is like for the JR Pass:
You'll first receive the Exchange Order. After you receive the Exchange Order, you have 90 days to redeem your JR pass from the voucher confirmation date.
After redeeming your actual JR pass, you can choose an activation date within 30 days from the redemption date. Please request staff assistance at JR Pass offices to set your pass activation date.
