What to do if you lose your Japan Rail Pass | No Reissue Policy

What should I do if I lose my JR Pass or it gets stolen?

The Japan Rail Pass (both the Exchange Order and the actual pass) cannot be reissued under any circumstances. This is a strict policy maintained by the Japan Railways (JR) Group.

  • No Exceptions: Whether the pass is lost, stolen, damaged, or left behind, JR offices and JTB Canada are unable to print a replacement or provide a refund for the lost item.
  • Required Action: If you lose your pass while in Japan, you will need to purchase standard train tickets at regular prices for the remainder of your trip.
  • Recommendation: Please treat your pass like cash or a passport. Keep it in a secure place (such as a travel wallet) and avoid leaving it in ticket machines or on train seats.
