JR Pass Suggestion

Hi there,

Hokuriku Pass for those dates seems fine, for the rest of the days I would simply recommend purchasing your tickets individually.

Kind regards,

Alexis

Hi Alexis,

Thanks for your reply. With the Hokuriku Arch Pass, do we need to pay extra to reserve seats? JR East website mentioned that additional fee is required for use of Green Cars and GranClass. What about 'Reserved Seat'?

Hi again Alexis,

I have just been told by my local travel agent that I won't be able to reserve a seat until the JR pass is activated. What I'm getting from the travel agent is just a voucher of the pass. It has to be exchanged for the pass when we're in Japan. Therefore we're not able to reserve a seat until we are in Japan. Is that how it works? Are we able to activate the pass for the date that we intend to travel and also reserve the seats before leaving for Japan?

Thanks.
