JR Pass refund 2016/12/14 15:23
I am from India ,visiting Japan in the month of March . I wish to travel from Tokyo to Kyoto by Shinkansen . Can I use JR pass for that ? Will I get refund for the balance amount in the pass if I don't use it fully ? Can I get the refund at any subway station or I have to get the refund on JR station only ?
Please answer all my questions. Thanks

Yes, but it won't pay off for a one way trip from Tokyo to Kyoto. Regular tickets would be cheaper. Note that you cannot use the Nozomi trains. The basics are explained below:

Certainly not! Unused exchange vouchers can be refunded, but actual rail passes can't.

There will be no "unused" portion. Once issued it is in use/used.

You surely can, unless sold out.

You can buy a few minutes before and be fine.

"new" sightseeing - they change all the time
