Hi everyone, does anyone where to buy the cheapest JR pass?


price of the JR pass is fixed at 29110yen for the 7-day pass


difference will be the exchange rate used by the different company on that day. so u will need to call and check the price to see which is cheaper.
if u have exchange yen at a good rate, u can purchase from H.I.S at Amara which accepts payment in yen

That's a good idea. Maybe I can try purchasing at H.I.S with Japanese yen.

Would H.I.S give discount for NATAS fair? I am planning to pay in cash yen.

Follow Me Japan used to do it for cash payments but they say they not doing it this year.

The cheapest I checked was during the NATAS 2015. Diners World Travel offers 5% discount on their JR pass 7 days. $326. Best of luck.
