Japan Station Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Special Rapid services to Kyoto and Kansai airport are not reserved seating. https://www.osakastation.com/jr-kansai-airport-line-kansai-airport-rapid-service/ It may be crowded around the holidays, but you don't need to reserve a seat. For shinkansen we recommend that you make reservations as soon as you arrive in Japan. Christmas is not as busy as New Year, but it's a good idea to make reservations a few days in advance.
