JR pass - First class

Hi Frank,

All Green Seats (1st class) are by reservation only. You have to make seat reservations in advance if you want to travel on a Green Seat.

You can however take an ordinary non reserved seat if you don't have the time to make a seat reservation. Also if you are in this situation, just ask the conduction if it is possible to move to Green Class. If possible, they will assign a seat to you.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
