I’m visiting next month for 18 days. I was watching so many videos on the Shinkansen and I was getting too much information. So I bought the 14 day JR pass and I don’t have to worry.
Hi Sarah. May I ask you. Im travelling with a group of 11. Planning to take the train from Shin Osaka to Tokyo. My concern is we have big luggages. Should we buy from app or 2-3 days before departure buy from the office itself?
I would try to book the tickets 2 weeks before the departure date so you can secure those seats with the baggage space right behind it. But I think in between cars, there are luggage space you can pay for. If I’m not mistaken, please do more research on this. You can also send your luggage from your Osaka hotel to your Tokyo hotel. It’s super convenient and not super expensive.
There are a bunch! In Akihabara, I just googled “coin locker” and I found one on the streets of Akihabara. Most coin locker at train station have a max of 3 days.
I tried registering on the app but once I put all my cc info in, it doesn’t go through. I tried registering a lot of times with different cards and no luck of getting in. I read the reviews on the app store, they also have the same problem.
If you've ridden the shinkansen before, what are some of your best tips? Leave them below ⬇

Noted on that. Thank you again Sarah.
Luggage locker in Tokyo station? Max day?

How much time in advance I need to buy tickets for shinkansen in April? May it be sold off?
Not sure but check if there’s a national holiday in April. I got mine about a month before. If anything, you can always get the unreserved ticket.

My american express worked for me.
Do you feel dizzy on it?
Not at all.
It's the smoothest train you'll ever ride on.
