JTB at Ala Moana SC is
on the ocean side of the former Shiroki-ya. This is not where the Japanese tours go,
it is the glassed-in counter of JTB USA.

I called and made my rail pass reservations before I went.

I didn't know there were two locations, so thanks for the details ！
If anyone can help me with information on the IACE as well, please let me know.

Thank you ！
I just noticed that HIS is also in Ala Moana SC, and I noticed that the price is a little cheaper than JTB on the web, but it says that the price will change, so please call them, so I called them, but the line was disconnected and I left a message, but they have not responded yet. I called JTB to find out if the price is going to be lower from the day after tomorrow, but I got through to them too, but while I was waiting for them to get back to me, they asked me to leave a voicemail.
I wonder if they are busy dealing with tourists since it is summer vacation in Japan. I have time to mail the IACE, but I want it soon.

Pass, what you want to confirm is the name of the GC or something like that ？
If that's what you mean, I'll write down my example that might be helpful.
The GC's name is American surname, and the American surname is in brackets in the passport, but
this does not mean that the passport and GC are an exact match, so I need other proof documents. So you need to get a copy of your notification of residence or
a certificate of residence from the consulate. I got a copy of the notification, which is free of charge.
If your GC has the same surname as your passport, you can use it as it is, but the date of resident since must be more than 10 years ago.
Likewise, the date of notification of residence must also be more than 10 years old.
If the date of notification of residence in Hawaii is less than 10 years old, the JR Pass cannot be used.
If you lived in the U.S. mainland before Hawaii, it is difficult to use the JR Pass.
You have to check with the place where you submitted the notification before to see if they will issue the pass for that time.
I also don't know if the consulate in Hawaii will give you a combined total for the previous one. If so,
you would have to ask the consulate.

By the way, I bought mine online at IACE. I had plenty of time, so I used USPS shipping.
The difference in the amount of money for the pass itself is not enough to bother me. ？
JTB has a password from the beginning, IACE has an additional $10 for the number of passes
at the end of the application process. \I don't know about JTB, but IACE comes with an extra ballpoint pen. It is easy to write with it ．

Thank you.
I wrote a thank you note yesterday, but it has not been reflected....
I called JTB and HIS yesterday, but JTB was connected once and while I was waiting, guidance came up and told me to leave a message, HIS was not connected and I left a message, but neither has returned my call yet.
IACE may have a higher fee if you just mail it.
