Hello,
My family of 4 will be arriving in Shibuya, Tokyo on a Tuesday and we plan to catch the train to Kyoto Station on a Sunday. I want to reserve my seats but we are waiting for my cousin to arrive on Friday to reserve all our seats together. Do you think there will be any problems (seat availability) if we book one day in advance for 5 people? I don’t know how late the JR office opens. Are there lots of train availability on a Sunday?
Or is it better to book our 4 seats first and then have him book his seat when he arrives? We have to go that Sunday to Kyoto. I just want to make sure we all get on the same train to Kyoto at least.
You’re input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
