Usually JR Pass bought direct from JR website?

Those day passes are hard to utilise for me because I won't be visiting many places in a day. Prefer to take my time to exploring places and I don't really like the "touch and go" style.

Klook's collection place is at somewhere near Namba and yes I find it inconvenient too. That's why didn't get from them.

Yeah, I reckoned that's what I'm going to do. Just IC card, no need to stress anymore.
I just dislike reloading it with cash only..

Yeah, or sites like Klook or KKDay, can Google for it.
I got mine from Taobao, much cheaper.


Anyway, does anyone know where can I buy daily unlimited 500 yen Nagasaki tram tickets? Real experience sharing is appreciated.

Nop

JR Rail Pass had to buy at Malaysia authorized Travel Company.
Then you will get Exchange Order. Once you reach Japan, Go to JR Ticket Office and used the Exchange Order to exchange JR Rail Pass.

Oops. Yeah, you are right. My mind hasn't refreshed yet early in the morning.
I refer to JR site for various passes information.

check the operating time for the counter
if not wrong, most counter would have close by 10PM
which is why i don't plan to get any "pass" at all because can't collect any at all

can't even take the train to kyoto since the last train is 10.30PM

I think you get the Kansai One from the JR West office at Kansai Airport, which is open from 05:30 to 23:00 so you might be able to make it if there are no delays.

Same here, I hate the cash only option but what to do?
Unless you buy the ICOCA card from Klook which is already pre-loaded with ¥1,500 and hope that it can last you

No, my trip from airport to hotel already 1.6k yen.
And cannot buy from them, costs more and will close by 10pm. No thanks, I will buy from the machine.

This thread might give you a bit of an idea - https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/commen...ing_a_reserved/

TLDR version: no there is no penalty but it's just bad form so please don't abuse the system. If you do happen to miss, try to immediately cancel it and book a new time.

You are right, I didn't really realize that it's a few bucks extra if bought from Klook.
Looks like I will be grabbing my ICOCA/HARUKA from the airport using cash then

Can I know if Icoca & Haruka come as a package for new cards? Can I get from the machine?

Yes! You can get both as a new package - https://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/ticket/icoca-haruka/
I don't think you can get it from the machine because they need to check your passport and make sure you're a foreigner.

Wow... so many people travelling to Japan. Who says the economy is not good?

Aiyo, you need to exchange again. Gotta force my friend to exchange because she will arrive first.

Go scouting for opportunities. You think fun and games only?

Scout for what? Becoming a JAV actor?

I heard they are in demand now.

I saw for JR Kyushu, theres an option of purchasing "E-ticket for JR Kyushu Rail Pass Online booking"



Any idea/experience on this option?

Also for seat reservation, its a bit confusing as it stated need 1000 yen for reservation but 5 day JR Kyushu North pass stated free reservation 16 times

BTW Suica card can be used in Fukuoka?
