Hi all,
I feel like this should be a really easy question to find an answer to, but I've spent a while looking and am still none the wiser! Is there a most-recommended online shop to buy the JR Pass from for the UK?
The five I've found are:
https://www.japan-rail-pass.co.uk
https://www.jrpass.co.uk/en/
https://www.jrpass.com
http://www.jrpassonline.com
http://www.japan-railpass.co.uk
Thanks
You posted the same thing yesterday.
All these shops sell the same thing. Either the transaction works or it doesn't. Few people are going to be buying multiple passes in their lives, so people are not going to have a favorite or recommended pass vendor.
The only thing that differs is the price you pay, including postage (if applicable). As the exchange rate is set by each supplier, it can make a significant difference. At least there is no longer surcharge for paying with a credit card or Amex. I have got good exchange rate and good service from HIS (currently £188 for 7-day ordinary pass): https://www.jrpass.co.uk/en/national-jr-pass-ticket
I haven't bought one from the UK.
But afaik (like here in Italy) there is very little difference between the various sellers.Is the price identical for all of them?
Some here charge more for postage than others...
