Hi.
We are from Australia and will be travelling Japan for 3 weeks in March next year.
Arrive Tokyo 2 March
Hakone 10
Osaka 12
Hiroshima 15
Kyoto 17
Kanazawa 20
Tokyo 22
I plan to buy a JRPass as we are travelling Shinkansen where available.
If I buy a JRPass now, when can I book Shinkansen tickets?
Thanks

Hi there!
A 14-day JR Pass (9–22 March) would be a great option for your trip!
Once you are in Japan, you can easily reserve seats at any JR ticket office (Midori-no-madoguchi) or by using a ticket machine at JR stations.
I hope this helps!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
