While the base price in Japanese Yen is now standardized across all platforms, purchasing your Japan Rail Pass through JTB Canada offers several distinct advantages for travelers based in North America:

• Fixed Currency (CAD): When you buy from JTB Canada, your price is locked in Canadian Dollars (CAD) at the time of purchase. You don't have to worry about fluctuating exchange rates or "foreign transaction fees" that often apply when purchasing in Yen from overseas websites.
• Local Canadian Support: We are physically located in Canada. This means you can receive assistance in both English and Japanese within your own time zone. If you have questions about eligibility or your shipment, you can speak directly with our local staff via phone or email.
• Pre-Exchange Assistance: As long as you have not yet exchanged your voucher in Japan, JTB Canada can handle modifications, cancellations, or eligibility consultations directly from our Richmond office. Dealing with a local agency provides an extra layer of security and convenience before your departure.
• Physical Exchange Order: We issue a physical Exchange Order (voucher). Many travelers prefer having this official document in hand before they fly, providing peace of mind that their rail travel is secured.
