We will ship your tickets on the day we purchase your tickets.Please note that Shinkansen tickets can only be purchased one month prior to the departure date (it is a regulation by Japan Railway).If you order your tickets well in advance (more than a month earlier), the shipping will be made one month prior to your departure date at the earliest (ex. tickets will be shipped on March 16 at the earliest if your departure date is April 15).If you order your tickets less than a month prior to your departure date, we will ship your tickets on the day we purchase your tickets (usually within a day after your order).We recommend you to allow more than two weeks prior to your departure to Japan, as sometimes it takes longer than the standard delivery time due to delays in the customs process.
