Hi,

We´ll be traveling to Japan at the end of march, spending a couple of days in Tokyo before activating the Jr pass and traveling to Kyoto - Osaka - Hiroshima - Tokyo.
Is it possible to reserve seat beforehand, or do we need to do it the same day that we activate it? My plan was to book seats for the whole trip beforehand so that everything would be smooth, however, we only have two 7 day passes, and plan to travel for 7 days. So if I were to activate it before we wouldn't be able to do the whole trip.

So I guess my question is - is it possible to book the seats a couple of days in advance, still not activating the pass until the day of the first journey?

Hi there,

You can start making seat reservations from the moment that you have exchanged your JR Pass in Japan. You can do so the moment that you arrive, even if you don't want to start using the pass right away.

Kind regards,
Daniel
