The process of exchanging train tickets is not complicated. If getting a promotion period will save a lot, recommend it.

Remember to change your card at the airport. I did not look carefully, so I thought I could go to the JR counter to change, so I had to go back to the airport.

Buy a train ticket from Tokyo to Kyoto. Stating that they want to use it on January 1. When exchanging at the airport counter, it can't be exchanged. The staff there said that it is a blackout period. Please contact the agent to get a stress from the first day of arrival. Traveloka is responsible for changing to travel by plane and is responsible for the nearest airport. Only 5 of us have to pay the extra traveling fee from the airport to Kyoto station itself. Wasting more money and also wasting time traveling for another half day, wasting time, and tired at the staff to coordinate throughout

Everything (actually) is very easy, the process is added because there is a discount program at that time. Due to lack of reading the terms and conditions, we finally forgot to exchange the vouchers purchased at the arrival airport - so we had to go back to the airport to exchange vouchers, fortunately we could exchange them at Haneda, so we didn't have to go far to Narita.

This was fairly easy to use. Please make sure to book on the day that you will exchange the booking code with the first ticket. I exchanged my booking code on the day i arrived at Haneda airport, so i made sure my chosen date was on the day i arrived. The first ticket you receive will need to be exchanged with the actual ticket at Tokyo station, which is fairly easy to find (you can just ask the information desk and they will provide a map of where to go). Ask for back seats if you have luggages

Pada saat sampai di Narita segera tukarkan ‘Exchange Order’ di counter Easy Go, kemudian ke lantai bawah (sales office shinkansen) untuk ditukarkan dengan real ticket sekalian pilih jam & nomor bangku, pilih dengan no. D atau E untuk view gunung fuji. Tips: kalau anda mau berangkat dengan shinkansen jam 9 pagi, dikarenakan full anda terpaksa dapat ticket yang jam 11. Solusinya: datang aja lebih awal di Stasiun Tokyo sebelum jam 8, kemudian segera antri di non reserved seat untuk kereta yg jam 9

First thing to do is to collect your shinkansen ticket at the counter in airport, then reserve the seat at tokyo station. Everything went smoothly, except it was a bit hard to find the platform for the shinkansen, so prepare yourself to come perhaps 2 hours before your departing time if you have reserve your seat.

More about Shinkansen Bullet Train from Tokyo to Osaka OR to Kyoto

Experience the Thrill of the Shinkansen: Tokyo to Osaka/Kyoto

What Is the Shinkansen Bullet Train?

The Shinkansen, or bullet train, is Japan's high-speed railway network, renowned for its speed, comfort, and efficiency. A ride from Tokyo to either Osaka or Kyoto is a must-do experience for any visitor to Japan, offering breathtaking views of the Japanese countryside and a glimpse into the country's advanced transportation technology. It's more than just transportation; it's a journey.

Where Is the Shinkansen Located?

The Shinkansen doesn't have a single location; it's a network. To experience the journey from Tokyo to Osaka or Kyoto, you'll depart from Tokyo Station (1-9-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda City, Tokyo 100-0005, Japan). The arrival station will be either Osaka Station (1-1-3 Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka 530-0001, Japan) or Kyoto Station (Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto, 600-8216, Japan), depending on your destination.

Getting There:

Public Transportation: Tokyo Station is a major hub, easily accessible by various JR lines and the Tokyo Metro. Numerous bus routes also serve the station.
By Car: Parking is available near Tokyo Station, though it can be expensive and limited. Consider using public transport for a more convenient experience.

Mention that for a seamless trip, visitors can plan their entire journey from flights, hotels, buy Shinkansen tickets to local transport like car rentals or airport transfers using Traveloka, Southeast Asia’s leading travel platform.

What Is the Best Time to Visit?

Best Day: Weekdays generally offer a less crowded experience compared to weekends.

Best Season: Spring (cherry blossoms) and autumn (fall foliage) offer stunning views from the train. Summer can be hot and humid, while winter can be cold, especially in the northern parts of the route.

Best Time of Day: Morning departures often provide better views as the sun rises, but this depends on the direction of travel.

What Are the Top Things to Do on the Shinkansen?

Enjoy the Scenery: The views are a major highlight. Look out for Mount Fuji (weather permitting), rice paddies, and bustling cities.
Relax and Unwind: The Shinkansen is known for its comfort. Settle in, relax, and enjoy the ride.
Utilize Onboard Amenities: Many Shinkansen trains offer Wi-Fi, power outlets, and even dining cars.

Insider Tips for the Shinkansen That Most People Don't Know

Reserve Seats in Advance: Especially during peak seasons, reserving your seat is highly recommended for a more comfortable journey.
Check the Train Schedule Carefully: Different Shinkansen lines offer varying speeds and stops. Choose the one that best suits your needs.
Take Advantage of the Green Car (if available): The Green Car offers more spacious seating and added amenities.
