Oh that's interesting. I guess they would be selling them at prices shown at http://www.japanrailpass.net/about_jrp.html ? I have only purchased them from the overseas resellers before.

Seems buying an exchange order in advance is still cheaper.

A whole lot of international flights arrive at Haneda outside these hours, check your schedule!

It looks like you can buy a Japan Rail Pass at several airports in Japan including Narita as well as many JR stations. Check the lower part of this page.

If it isn't too forward, how much did you pay and for how many days?

I actually chose not to buy one because I realized that we wouldn't get our money's worth out of it. But they were for sale. I don't remember the cost, so sorry.
