Check-in

Earliest 72 hours before train departure, the passenger will have to check-in at www.accesrail.com to retrieve the Kyushu voucher. A paper copy of the ticket or mobile version must be present for the exchange. When the voucher is redeemed for the actual JR KYUSHU PASS, the passenger will need to select a start date no further than 1 month from the date of Exchange in Japan. The pass can then be used for 3/5/7 days continuously as per your pass from the selected start date. Date changes are not permitted.

Precautions for Exchange:

• Present both the voucher and your passport when collecting the JR KYUSHU PASS in Japan. A passport copy is not acceptable.
• Specify the starting date when exchanging the pass; it must be within one month of the exchange date. This starting date cannot be changed once the pass is issued.
• You cannot issue the same type of pass if validity periods overlap. Choose a starting date that avoids overlap.
• If you do not meet the eligibility requirements, you cannot exchange passes even with an e-voucher. Contact the travel agency for refunds.

Precautions After Exchange:

• Use the automatic ticket gates.
• If the pass is lost, it cannot be reissued, even with a record or copy of the e-voucher.
• Traveling outside the designated area or using non-covered facilities will incur additional charges.
