Reply To: JR Pass – Shinkansen wheelchair reserved seat
UPDATE and NEW QUESTION : if we need to go to the “Midori no Madoguchi” to get the Shinkansen tickets and seats (finally we don’t use JR Pass), I found on the web that is only open at 10:00 AM. Is this real or can we go to an office in Tokyo Station earlier in the morning ? Even if we have to come back later, after the employee made the booking, we would like not being stuck till 10:00 AM to optimize our routing and planning… Does someone have the information ? On JR Website, it tells it opens sometimes at 6:30 AM, but is the part selling wheelchair ticket available at this early time ?
