Hello,
I will be travelling to Japan in May and want to buy a 7day JRpass. Now my question is: once I have the pass, do I need to buy tickets for the trains I want to take or reserve seats or can I simply take them by having the JRPass with me?
Thank you very much
Hi there,
In short: you can do both!
In details: Limited express trains and Shinkansen bullet trains generally have a section of reserved and non-reserved seats. The JR Pass covers both and you can make a free seat reservations beforehand.
Local trains, such as you may find in Tokyo don't have reserved seats. You just hop on and off.

Hope this helps,

Thank you very much for your answer, it sounds really easy.
Have a nice weekend
