Hello, we are a little confused on the ability to reserve seats online. We would like to purchase our pass through your site, but we would like the ability to reserve seats online and just pick up the seat tickets from the machine before departure. I have read that we can only do this online seat booking if we purchase the pass through the main JR site.
We will be starting in Tokyo and travel to Kyoto, Kobe, and some other destinations in the south for 14 days before returning to Tokyo.
Can someone please advise about the ability to reserve the seats online?
Thanks in advance,
Rick

Hi Rick,
Online seat reservations are not yet possible for orders placed through www.jrpass.com, as we still sell the tickets under the old type of agreement. I can't go into too much detail, but basically what it comes down to is that we can offer the pass at up to 20% lower in price, but can't do the newer stuff yet, such as online seat reservations.
Kind regards,
Daniel
