Hello! I land in Tokyo on June second and want to go from the airport directly to a train to go to Kyoto, do I need to reserve a seat for that? Can I reserve the seat online with the exchange pass or only once I get to Japan?

Hello there,

You can reserve once you arrive in Japan and can do so at Narita Airport, it should be no problem to get tickets during normal days.

Can I get the seats for the same day though? As soon as I get my pass can I book a seat for a few hours later?
