We are currently in Japan and the only issue we had was receiving our passes before we departed. It seems that the service was having issues with communicating back to us. But we did finally receive them before the trip.

Exchanging the voucher was simple. Staff were kind, trains spotless. Made exploring Japan’s countryside easy and relaxing.
