Best Tokyo location for getting the Pass and all needed seat reservations at once

Ideally I would love to pick up the JR Pass and all seat reservations upon arrival at Narita, late afternoon. However, I was told that usually there is a line there and as a result I could not get the seats (to avoid making all others wait for a long time).

I was told that due to the fact that end of March is high season and it is important to get reserved seats as soon as possible after arrival. I will be staying in central Tokyo (near the Shimbashi Metro Station. With this in mind, what location would be the best one to go to and take care of the seats, all at one time shortly after arrival?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

This is true, Narita Airport can be very busy. Especially if many big jets land around the same hour.

Once you have activated your JR Pass, you can make reservations at any JR station. Just pick any local JR station and you can make all reservations you want.

It is recommended to bring a printed list of bookings you'd like to make, this way the JR Staff can make your reservations in no time.

Kind regards,
Daniel
