Hello,
We have a few questions please.
We will be traveling in Japan from Nov. 4th to the 25th. We would like to buy two three week passes. We read that the price of the pass is increasing on Oct. 1st. If we buy the pass before Oct. 1st can we use it in Nov. without an increase?
If we buy this week, would our Nov. trip dates be ok?
Is it recommended to reserve our seats each trip, and if so how can we do so? We do not plan to have data? If not can we just walk onto the train?
Thank you,
Mark & Jenn

Hi Mark & Jenn,
Yes, you can use the old pricing as long as you buy on time, but please don't wait till the last moment.
For seat reservations, please see:
