Jr rail pass voucher exchange

Hello,

We are traveling with our two young kids to Japan in a couple weeks. We arrive at Haneda airport on a Friday around 6pm, then are headed to Asakusa area for a few nights. I'm wondering where is the easiest place to exchange our Jr pass vouchers and book train seats? We will be staying at the Asakusa View Hotel and I'm not having much luck finding somewhere nearby there to exchange. Would love to try and avoid doing the exchange at the airport as it's a long flight. Any help would be appreciated! TIA

After you exchange your voucher for the Japan Rail Pass, you can get your train reservations from a ticket agent or from a machine. Here's an excellent guide to using the machine:

Ueno is the closest exchange office to Asakusa. Take the Ginza Line subway to Ueno and go to the JR section—the link in #1 shows where the exchange office is and its operating hours.
