1/5 J S. 7 months ago on Google
the
JR
ticket
machine
ate
my
JR
Rail
Pass!
It
was
the
last
day
of
use
but
since
it
was
like
8pm
I
still
should
have
been
able
to
use
it
for
a
few
more
hours.
I
don't
know
if
the
machine
is
supposed
to
take
it
even
after
it
expires
but
it
hadn't
yet...
The
station
attendant
just
said
to
wait
here.
there
were
many
other
people
already
waiting
with
other
various
problems..
the
attendant
wasn't
doing
anything,
just
looking
into
the
window
of
the
office.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
was
even
in
there
or
what
but
he
was
very
half
hearted
if
he
was
even
trying
to
get
someone's
attention..
didn't
seem
like
he
would.
well
it
was
late
and
i
wanted
to
go
to
my
hotel,
and
i
wasn't
planning
on
using
my
pass
any
more
that
night,
and
again,
I
couldn't
use
it
tomorrow
(i
could
have
used
it
that
night
though),
so
I
just
left
because
there
were
so
many
people
waiting
and
the
attendant
wasn't
doing
anything.
But
that
absolutely
shouldn't
happen.
The
machine
shouldn't
take
the
JR
pass
no
matter
what
as
far
as
I
know.
So
there
are
major
technical
problems
as
well
as
staff
(ineffective)
problems
at
this
station.
Also
after
having
to
use
it
more,
as
others
have
pointed
out,
it’s
essentially
false
advertising
to
say
this
and
the
non
jr
station
are
the
same
station
or
that
it’s
a
transfer
station.
It’s
at
least
a
ten
minute
walk
between
stations
if
not
more.
At
that
point
if
you’re
on
a
different
side
than
your
desired
line,
you
might
as
well
just
get
on
the
other
train
and
do
a
transfer.
If
you
anre
here
for
business
annd
choosing
an
hotel
for
commuting,
this
is
anlso
a
problem.
Also
it
is
a
literal
scam.
I
went
through
the
paid
Jr
gates
and
after
walking
and
walking
I
had
to
go
out
of
the
gate
again
to
get
to
the
non
JR
line
.
I
thought
since
it’s
the
same
station,
my
card
would
get
an
error
and
then
I’d
get
it
cleared
by
the
station
attendant…
but
it
literally
just
charged
me
a
fare!
For
walking!
And
I
followed
the
signs
and
I
don’t
know
what
happened
but
based
on
my
Google
maps
locations
it
looks
like
they
just
sent
me
in
a
huge
circle??
This
station
is
a
complete
scam
.
