Can I purchase and use two or more JR Passes for myself for a long trip?
Yes, you can purchase and use multiple Japan Rail Passes consecutively if you are planning a long-term stay in Japan (e.g., using two 7-day passes for a 14-day trip, or a combination of different regional passes).
How to Purchase Multiple Passes Online:
Our online system allows you to buy multiple passes in a single transaction by following these steps:
- Step 1: Select your first JR Pass and click the "Add to Basket" button.
- Step 2: Once the first pass is in your basket, click the "Add" or "Continue Shopping" button on the basket screen.
- Step 3: Select the second pass (or additional traveler's pass) and add it to the same basket.
- Benefit: By purchasing them together in one basket, you can ensure they are shipped in the same package, saving on delivery fees.
How to Use Them in Japan:
- Exchange: You can bring all your vouchers to a JR Exchange Office at once when you arrive in Japan.
- Activation: You must specify a different "Start Date" for each pass. For example, if your first 7-day pass ends on the 7th, your second pass should be set to start on the 8th.
- Eligibility: Please ensure your "Temporary Visitor" visa covers the entire duration of all passes used.
