We are traveling to Japan this Winter holiday season, Dec. 24 to Jan 3. We have booked a stay in Tokyo, then Kyoto, and then back to Narita. We plan to use the trains between cities, and within the cities themselves. We realize this is a busy time, and want to know if we can reserve seats ahead of time. We will buy 7 days JR and activate it from 27/12/18 to 2/1/19. How do we do this and which JR pass? It is possible booking seats in advance from Italy before leaving for Japan?
How to book seats if you’re not yet in Japan
Hi there,
Seats can be reserved once in Japan and after you have exchanged the JR Pass. I would advice doing so when you get there on the 24th.
