Cheapest place to get JR pass in Australia? 2010/12/8 17:55
Hi i'm going to Japan in Feb and have just gone to buy a JR pass from Qantas and even though the JR site says 45100 Yen which currently is less than $550AU, Qantas want nearly $800AU for it! Just wondering if anyone knows a cheaper place to get it before I go ringing every place on the list, thanks :)

Student Flights, if you have one near you or a Flight Centre. I'm travelling to Japan in Feb too and bought my 14 day pass for about $560 AU from my local Student Flights centre

The official site lists many places to purchase from:-

A quick google finds:-
Japan Package at $568
http://www.japanpackage.com.au/jrpass.htm

HIS at $578

JTB at $575

You can also request a price from Flight Centre and they may be able to price match depending on where they source from.

Most of the wholesalers only set their price in AU$ at fixed intervals. Some weekly, some fortnightly, some monthly. So they can sometimes be a long way from the daily exchange rate.

Enjoy your trip!

I recommend: http://www.japanpackagetours.com.au/

They mail it to you along with some information on places you are visiting in Japan.

You should not pay above the price 2010/12/9 20:19
The price of a Japan rail pass should be its price in JPY converted to your currency the day you buy it. Do not pay above this!
