Hi
We (2 adults) are planning to visit Japan in June 5 to 15 and will use JR Pass be our main transportation for travel between the major cities described in the above captioned route. We have the following queries,
Is the JR Pass valid to travel on bullet trains TOHOKUSHINKANSEN, TOKAIDSHINKANSEN and SANYOSHINKANSEN routes to these cities,
Is reservation of seats essential for these itineraries in June,
Can the advance reservations be made online before arriving in Japan, and how?
-
Journey times,
Route 1, straight run Tokyo to Hiroshima; Tokyo to Osaka
Route 2, straight run Tokyo to Sapporo; Sapporo to Fukushima,
The Pass is valid on all JR network; and is not valid for travel on local bus network, metros and underground systems operate in all cities, are these limitation rules correct?
Thank you in advance for you help.
Regards
David
