HELLO KITTY SHINKANSEN | Cutest Bullet Train Ride from Osaka to Fukuoka? 

You can book up to 30 days in advance. It's a Kodama train, so if you have a JR pass, you can ride for free. There are a few unreserved cars available. However, since the Kodama is a slower train, I wouldn't recommend taking it all the way to Fukuoka again. It's better to use it for a few stops, then switch to a faster Nozomi train. If you're just heading to Hiroshima, though, it's fine to take it directly there. Bookings can be made at a JR ticket office or via the SmartEX smartphone app. When we booked, the website incorrectly listed it as Kodama 847 (Shin-Osaka to Hakata). Unable to find this train number in the app, we visited the station, showed them a picture of the train and our desired travel date, and they took care of everything. It's quite straightforward if you're near the JR office at Osaka Station, though there was a 30-minute wait. The website has been updated to the correct trains: - Kodama 849 (Shin-Osaka to Hakata) (Southbound) - Kodama 838 (Hakata to Shin-Osaka) (Northbound) 🔗Relevant Links: - Hello Kitty Train JR Site: www.jrailpass.com/blog/hello-kitty-shinkansen - SmartEX App: smart-ex.jp/en/index.php I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner; I wanted to take the time to provide you with accurate information. Feel free to ask any more questions about Japan-we've spent about 6 months there in the last year and a half and absolutely love it. Instagram is probably the best way to get in touch: instagram.com/adamandlinds/.

@@adamandlinds Thanks! Do you know if booking 30 days in advance is done through the west jr website? I’m not purchasing a JR pass, just an individual ticket for the train

@@Pulival200 yeah 30 days in advance online or in the office.

Thanks! We're all having a blast in Japan!

Credit goes to Lindsay for the matching outfits! 😊

Japan is just too amazing not to enjoy to the fullest! 😊

Thanks! Yeah, the summer heat was intense, but the kids were troopers.

Yes, we knew they rotated. We've just never seen any other passengers do it, so we didn't know if it was okay.

Thanks so much! Family time is the best. 😊

So glad to hear that! Making people smile is what it's all about.
