We arrive at Narita April 27 and need to get to Tokyo Station, then use a JR train to get to the the Ryomo Line to visit the flower park and take the Tōhoku Shinkansen to Aomori. We will need to travel back from Aomori to Narita May 2. 2 people - can you advise what JR pass would be best and also if we should have reservations since these are peak travel times? Can you assist with reservations? Thanks in advance.

Hi Esmae,

Seat reservations are recommended for this route but you will be fine doing 1-2 days in advance. You can make the reservations at any JR station.

For the JR Pass, you could look at a JR East Tohoku Pass.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Thank you, I wasn’t sure if the East pass covered all we need. When we purchase the pass through your site are you able to help with seat reservations? I don’t want to wait until we are in Japan as we need the train the following morning. Thanks again

Hi again,

We don't sell this pass on www.jrpass.com but you can find it on the JR East website, seat reservations can be made on JR East website too.

Kind regards,
Daniel
