Reply To: Booking Wheelchair Seats on the Shinkansen
Hello, thanks for all of the helpful links to book in English. I am trying to book 4 seats together. My son (aged 15) will be in a Manual wheelchair for the trip. He will most likely want to transfer so I would book him seat B. I will then book seat A for myself. My questions are – which seats should I book for my husband and other son so we can sit together? (Ihave read that I have to do seperate bookings for each type of seat so am not sure how to make sure we are all together) and at ages 15 and 12, do my kids count as children or adults. Many thanks for your help.
