Hi there
I will buy the 14 day pass, and understand that the new shinkansen will open a week before my trip (14 March 2015), significantly reducing the time to 2.5 hours.
I understand the JR pass is valid on all types of shinkansen (including the fastest Kagayaki one) - but seat reservation is mandatory. How can I book 2 seats for Tuesday 24th March in advance, to secure we get a seat? Also we then want to leave Kanazawa to go to Osaka on 25th March. I imagine it will be busy. We arrive into Tokyo on 20th March.
many thanks!
