Reply To: JR Pass – Shinkansen wheelchair reserved seat
If you want to sit on the deck (the area between carriages where the door and toilet is, you can be a little looser with timing.
However, the seats in the accessible carriage are reserved, so you can’t just sit anywhere and do need to book them. (There are other carriages that are free seating and it is like the metro where you sit where it is open. But it isn’t accessible.) You can book everything at once if you know the dates and times, or book one at a time as needed. You should book at least a day in advance though. It can take quite a bit of time, so, doing everything at once might be best.
