Hi Daniel,

I've purchased the 14 days Exchange Order. Below is my itinerary.

Please kindly check my route. Are all the inter-city trains covered by JR pass?

I am leaving Canada on July 15, arriving Narita airport on July 16. Do I need to reserve the seat in advance before I leave Canada, especially the one from Toyko to Hakodate on July 17? If so, how can I do that?

Thanks a lot,
Jeff

Hello Jeff,

I checked the route and can confirm that the JR Pass covers travel between all of the above cities. You may however still need additional tickets for local travel, such as for the subway or within the Hakone region.

The train to Hakodate does require a reservation beforehand, you can make this at any JR station in Japan. For the details see: http://www.jrpass.com/blogs/reserving-seats-boarding-the-bullet-train

Also consider adding one more night to Osaqka/Kyoto. You've got quite a packed itinerary at that point and a bit more time would certainly be nice.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
