I'm thinking of buying a regional pass (Sanyo San'in Northern Kyushu pass). One of my trips will be from Hakata to Tokyo. I believe this regional pass covers only the Hakata to Kyoto part. How do I book a ticket for this trip? Can I book one ticket for Hakata to Tokyo and pay the difference for the portion not covered by the pass? Or do I have to book two separate tickets - one for Hakata to Kyoto (included with the pass) and one for Kyoto to Tokyo (pay for this separately)?

Hi there,
You can buy a ticket ahead of time covering the part not included (for example from Shin-Osaka to Tokyo) then use your pass for the part not included.
You could also pay the difference upon arrival in Tokyo, but this way you would not have a seat reservation ahead of time.
Kind regards,
Daniel
