How to Buy Shinkansen Tickets
Shinkansen tickets can be purchased in a variety of ways, including online, at ticket machines, and at ticket offices. The most convenient way to purchase tickets is online, as this allows you to reserve your seats in advance and avoid the lines at the station. To purchase tickets online, you will need to create an account on the Japan Railways (JR) website. Once you have created an account, you can search for trains and purchase tickets using your credit card.
If you are purchasing tickets at a ticket machine, you will need to select your destination and the date and time of your travel. You can then pay for your tickets using cash or a credit card. Ticket machines are available in both English and Japanese.
