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.
