Japan Station Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Travelers with a JR East-South Hokkaido Rail Pass can reserve seats online but the tickets have to be picked up before 9pm on the day before travel. https://www.eki-net.com/pc/jreast-shinkansen-reservation/English/wb/common/Menu/Menu.aspx > When using a Rail Pass to book a reserved seat ticket, the ticket should be picked up within the valid area of the pass. Picking up the ticket outside the valid area will result in a reserved seat charge as though the pass were not being used. > Please collect your tickets before 9:00 p.m. (21:00, Japan Standard Time) of the day before your departure. Tickets cannot be collected on the day of departure. There are usually seats available on the day of travel. You can make seat reservations after you arrive in Japan and activate your pass.
