Buying tickets for the shinkansen, or bullet train, can be a little more complex than expected. There's different train lines, online booking systems and pick-up methods. If you want to make it easy, you can use a booking website such as Klook, or if the cost-benefit works out, there's also the JR Pass. In this video though, we're focusing on how to buy individual shinkansen tickets from the station ticket machine and online.
For more info, check out our shinkansen ticket article: tokyocheapo.com/travel/where-...

A bit late I know but I'd also add that the JR West site allows you to book any train (shinkansen and regular trains) operated by JR West, Central, Shikoku and Kyushu, as well as the JR East trains in Kanto (incl Joetsu and Hokuriku shinkansen). This is useful if you want to book non-shinkansen trains such as the Hida train to/from Takayama, as ekinet allows booking of non-shinkansens in the JR East area, but not elsewhere, and SmartEx is shinkansen only, no regular trains.

Thank you so much for your advice about getting tickets more than 1 month in advance through the 3rd party sites. Are there any methods to get japan central railway tickets more than 1 month in advance? I'm trying to get from Nagoya to Takayama the morning/afternoon of the first day of the autumn festival. It seems my only option is the Hida limited express and there's only a few of them each day. I know there's going to be a lot of competition for these seats to get to the festival so if there's anything at all anybody could suggest I would be eternally grateful.

I’m traveling to Japan in two months and this was the most concise and easy to follow guide. Thank you! One question, if we take the tickets in the station machines 3 days in advance is enough to book it or could be is already full?
@tokyocheapo
@tokyocheapo 6 месяцев назад
We’re really glad you found the video helpful! Late March is peak season for travel so you may find the shinkansen getting full. If you’re flexible with your times, 3 days in advance may be enough for booking or you could also purchase a non-reserved ticket. However, you’re not guaranteed a seat with this option, so you’d want to arrive early to secure one.

This is so helpful! I'm traveling to Japan soon with a couple of people. If I have tickets for 4 people and my SmartEx account is connected to 1 IC card (mine) will I be able to tap all 4 of us through the gate or is it better to just buy separately?
@tokyocheapo

Hello! Glad it was helpful 😊 Each person will need to tap through separately. You can assign each ticket to a separate IC card from your account.

When you buy 2 tickets on Smart EX, are both tickets linked to one Suica card or can you say on the app to link one ticket to another card? Also, I ordered a Kansai-Hiroshima pass so is there any site to book seats online for JR West since eki net is just for JR East.

Loved this how informative this video was, thank you!! My girlfriend and I are visiting Japan in August and I'm still unsure whether we need a JR pass in addition to the Suica Cards we'll be getting on our phones. We plan to use the Suica card for getting around Tokyo for about a week and a half, then spending the second half of our trip visiting Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara. Would purchasing both be wise? Or what do you think the best option would be?
@tokyocheapo
@tokyocheapo 3 дня назад
Glad to hear the video was helpful for you! With the JR Pass now being 50,000 yen per person, it won't be worth it if just traveling between Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Nara. You can use the Suica card outside of Tokyo as well, so we recommend doing that for travel in the cities and buying individual shinkansen tickets for travel between cities 😊

Hi there! It does work but you'll need to also download the "Suica" app so that you can access the ID number for your Suica card. Once you input this number into your reservation, the ticket will be loaded on the Suica card in your wallet.

Hi there! If you're doing a reasonable amount of travel even in 3 days, the Suica card will make it a lot more seamless and convenient as you don't have to work out fares each time you hop on the train. If you have an iPhone, you can add Suica to your Apple wallet 😊

On the member registration screen of Smart EX, there is a section for registering a transportation system IC card. (I think that is under the credit card registration section) Enter the IC card number there (if it is Suica, enter the number starting with JE). For Mobile Suica, if you are an iphone user, tap the i-mark on the screen when you start up your phone to confirm. If you are an Android user, you can check it by tapping on something called Suica Management from the member menu (I don't know if this translation is correct as I don't know the English version of Suica's screen). Then just put your IC card number into the Smart EX screen in the same way. (I am Japanese, so I used Deepl translation.)

You should be able to charge a mobile Suica with a US card, AMEX is known to work best. However you can't charge a physical Sucia card with a credit card - you need to use cash. See our Suica Guide video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nU5bZIGVeAo.html

Amazing video and a big fan of your videos. Unfortunately I'm unable to buy tickets online as my cards were not recognized, I saw some reviews say lot of people experience the same. For the ticket machine, what are the chances of getting a seat on the day, is it hard normally (first time to Japan, thus the question) or should I always book in advance. Also, do I always need to get both the base fare and shinkansen, wouldn't the base be covered in it already (Eg: From Odawara to Kyoto or Kyoto to Osaka)

@user-kg2to7ey2l it was not. Avoid periods like golden week. However I bought tickets either the day before or 2 days before and all was good. The only exception could be if you have a lot of luggage then you may not be able to get luggage storage at the back but in a different storage area. Your biggest luggage can also go on top and it's safe and secure.

Hi there! It depends on the time and route you're taking but generally we suggest getting tickets in advance. For example, travelling between Tokyo and Kyoto in spring will be quite busy so it's best to get tickets before the day. Other shinkansen lines and times of year like winter (besides New Year) will be less busy.

Thanks for your vid. Is it possible to get a shinkhansen ticket at the moment when you like to go. Or do I have to book it in advanced? What happens if I bought a ticket and I am to late? Can I get the next one without paying again? We are there in March and April, first time ❤ thanks really appreciate your answer

Hi there! You can get a ticket from the station ticket machine or the ticket counter on the day you'd like to go. If you're travelling on one of the main shinkansen lines like Tokyo -> Osaka in peak times, we wouldn't recommend this though as it gets very crowded at the station and it'll be difficult to book a reserved seat. Shinkansen tickets are valid for the whole day you bought them, so if you miss your train you can catch the next one and use the non-reserved seats 😊

Did you find out? If you have iphone you can add Suica card in your apple wallet and link eticket. I think that is the only way to use eticket but imk 100%. I added card to my wallet but did not buy any ticket yet until Dec 23.

Hi! :) I would like to see Fuji when travelling to Osaka or Kyoto, The right side on that image 04:34 would be the top ones right? I m a bit confused😅

Hi there, great question! The right side at 04:34 is the bottom ones. The arrows all the way to the right show the direction the train is travelling in - so you want the right side of the train going to Osaka/Kyoto and the left side of the train travelling to Tokyo.
