Hi - I will be using the pass on my 1st day of arrival - is it possible for me to reserve a seat before I arrive into Japan?
As I am travelling during the golden week, I am concerned with the availability of seats.

Hi there,
Unfortunately not, you'll need to have exchanged your activation order before reserving any seats. As long as you reserve seats a few days in advance you should be okay - I suggest making reservations as soon as you exchange your order.
Kind regards,
A
