Hi All, My friends and I have already bought or plane tickets to Japan, and are in the midst of purchasing a JR Pass. Is the below a legit place to order it from? https://www.japan-experience.com/japan-rail-passFrom my research - it is, but still would like an assurance. Let me know, Thanks.

I used the Japan Rail Pass web site earlier this year, and was completely satisfied. I still don't know if they are in Paris or London, and I am in the Philippines. But it doesn't matter as I got the vouchers within 3 days via FedEx.
I also got the DOCOMO data SIM, which worked fine, even on the Shinkansen.
The two rail guides they include if you buy more than one pass were essentially worthless. OTOH, I have extensive knowledge of rail transportation in Japan.

Oops, sorry to confuse you. The Japan Rail Pass web site I mentioned and the Japan Experience web site you asked about are the same.
Their service is fast and professional. Their $14 FedEx charge is half what I have to pay to send a FedEx envelope to the USA. Other places wanted up to $50 for FedEx, and others charged a lot more for the rail passes. I did a lot of research, and they had the best deal.

https://www.japan-rail-pass.com/^ If you order from here, DON'T get it sent by Royal Mail as they don't pay enough postage on the letter. They make you pay the rest and trying to bring the issue up with customer service is like talking to a brick wall. They've admitted they know about the problem, but a friend of mine still had this happen to him 4 months after it happened to me. Otherwise I recommend as it was the cheapest for me and is good for regional passes. But just bear this in mind :)
