 |
|
| my coworkers been trying to sort my pass out for me, and was told today on the phone that you must make payment in cash in a bank. this has come as a shock as i anticipated paying with my credit card. has anyone successfully bought a pass with a credit card? i know there are a few outlets that sell them |

i have just been looking into to this, you can buy them at e-mart i'm sure they will accept a credit card.
depending on how many places you want to visit and how far apart they are you may find better value passes available, the jr national is the only which can't be baught in japan....I suggest reading http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2357.html paying particular attention to the Kansai and Chugoku sections |

its the 7 day pass i want specifically - can you really buy that at emart? i've checked the website & it lists places you can buy it, and theres no mention of emart.
does anyone know if i can buy it at the port before i get the beetle? |

I read u can get it in busan before boarding the ferry.
my girlfriend called up some travel agent which i guess was based in emart and they said i could go there and buy it before 8pm, as the normal travel agencies had already closed for the day as it was 6pm. Can't say if it is only at that specific one or all -check it out if u have one near by.... |
