From what I saw, I thought IACE Travel was the cheapest, but the website seems to suggest buying online. But I would like to buy in person at the office to confirm some things, but I don't know the number of the office. One of the numbers on the web says that this service is no longer available, and the other one gives me guidance and says to call there if I want to speak to a representative directly.
Is it possible to go directly to the office and make a purchase ?
or do you have a travel agent you would recommend?

I'd like to add, I believe the fees are the same as IACE and JTB. Just because it's an online order mailed
doesn't mean the fee is higher, but the postage is. That's the only difference. If you compare the sites, you can see to some extent that the fee is about $10 for both.

Halo thank you very much for your very kindness !
Yes. It's about the name and so on. I've been making a lot of mistakes lately (like forgetting to bring a present to a birthday party), and I'd like to have someone check my purchases if possible. If I try to use the rail pass and it doesn't work, my travel plans will be in trouble !.

Yesterday I bought a Japan Rail Pass at HIS in Ala Moana SS.
I first tried to buy it online from IACE Travel, but when I tried to buy it together, I got an error message even though I wanted two tickets, one for me Japanese and one for my husband ( American ). Maybe it's because we have different statuses ? I decided not to apply for them separately because it's too much trouble. On that point, at HIS, the staff is right in front of you, so whether you are Japanese or a gaijin, they can make sure that your name is correct and you can make the purchase.
Like Halo, my passport has my American family name in parentheses, but it is slightly different from my green card, so I got a copy of my residence card from the consulate. They also confirmed this.
The amount was also one person $ 338. I didn't have to pay any fees or postage, so in the end it was probably cheaper than IACE Travel.
It was very convenient to buy the tickets right away because it was not crowded in the evening.

Thank you Koco, I will try to get a copy of the book.
I ended up buying mine last week at HIS!
A few days before that, the price dropped to $ 213 per person, so I thought it was worth the wait. I think IACE will add Sipping fee !
and Handling fee $ 10.

My $ 213 is a 7 day pass and Kaco's $ 338 is a 14 day pass.
