Hello!
I have a JR Pass and was wondering how it worked with transferring at a station. Is it the same as exiting where I have to show my pass as a manned ticket gate or can I go straight to a transfer gate?
I will be travelling to Hiroshima from Tokyo via Shinagawa Station and just wanted to know the correct process. From the station map, there is an area which notes advise "Only when 'JR Pass' or 'JR East Pass' is used, the ticket reserved on JR East Web site 'JR East Tran Reservation' is a part of a possible receipt" (http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/stations/e788.html). Is this where we are required to go before transferring to the Shinkansen?
Also, is there a difference between a south and north transfer gate besides the location it is at the time you exit a train and besides the carraige location as per the carraige number on your ticket?
Thanks in advance!
