my itinerary 28/4-5/5/2015

Hello there,

Interesting Tohoku itinerary! The JR Pass covers all rail travel between the above cities and you can make very good savings over normal tickets.

Goldenweek is pretty busy but I think that you will be fine reserving tickets on the 28th. Alternatively you may use Eki Net to reserve seats for Tohoku in advance.

You are allowed to change your ticket if you want to take an earlier or later train. As long as seats are available of course.

I think the itinerary looks good, are you possibly planning to view the Sakura in Tohoku? Also interested in your plans for Hachinohe. A very interesting visit near Aomori is Shimokita.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I have tried to reserve the ticket according to my itinerary thru Eki Net. I successfully reserve the ticket from Ueno yo Shin Aomori but cannot find the way to reserve the ticket to and from
Shin-Aomori & Aomori,
Aomori & Hirosako,
Aomori & Hakodate,
Omiya & Koshigaya-laketown
Omiya & Kawaguchi

pls advise

Hi there,

Unfortunately those can't be booked for various reasons. Some trains don't have seat reservations and others are outside of the JR East area.

You'll have to get the tickets once you are in Japan. All these routes are relatively minor and I don't think that you will have any problem getting the tickets.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
