Jessica

Hello everyone,

I've got my Japan Rail Pass for next month!
Where can I change my voucher in Japan? and when does my pass activate?

Thank you for your help!

Hi Jessica!

Thank you for your question.
You can change your voucher in Central train stations in Japan
Please check this page: http://www.japan-rail-pass.com/common-questions/japan-rail-pass-activation

Also please check on pages 7 & 8 in the Japan Railway's booklet you got with your Japan Rail Pass.

When you go to Ticket Offices, you can change your voucher for a JR pass. At that moment, you can choose your activation date.

Have a great trip!
