The rail pass order receipt is only if you purchased the JR rail pass. If you are purchasing Suica/N'Ex, there is no application or order receipt. You do need to present your passport though (as Suica/N'Ex is only available for foreign visitors).



As you are flying in on CO, you will be arriving in Terminal 1. The JR travel center is across from the ticket gates at the JR Terminal 1 station and is open from 8:15 to 7pm, so you shouldn't have any problems.

Complete details about the Suica/N'Ex package can be found here.
