Can I use JR Pass in these areas, lines and Narita Express

Hi there,

The ICOCA card or any other IC card like Suica is valid nationwide wherever IC cards are accepted. An IC card is a payment method and valid on most companies but does not provide a discount like a pass does.

The JR Pass is valid for the Narita Express. You can use the NEX from Ikebukuro (closest to Sugamo) or Tokyo station.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Do I need to book seats for the NEX?
Where can I do it and when? The same day or few days earlier.

Thanks.

Hi again,

You can do so when you arrive. It is always hard to estimate what time exactly you'll be one the train as planes can be delayed etc.

You share the NEX only with other arrival passengers so there's always space, e.g. you don't have to worry about rushhour.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
You mean I can do it my departure day an hour before boarding the NEX at Ikebukuro Station?
At the JR Pass office? Or at the Ticketing Machine?

Regards
