I'm using JR pass and reserved seats, what if I were to miss the train, can I change to the next train on the spot?
I'll be travelling with children from Ueno station to Shin-Hakudate-Hokudo (Hayabusa 19, 10:50-15:01) , then transit to Sapporo ( Hokuto 17, 15:20)

Hi there,
If you miss a train you have a reserved seat for, then you are allowed to board the next train and take a non-reserved seat.
If the availability allows it, then you may get a new reserved seat.
Kind regards,
Daniel
