Reply To: Booking Wheelchair Seats on the Shinkansen
Hello,
I have never booked for 4 people, but my guess would be that if you want to book online, you’ll need to book 3 times in a row:
- wheelchair seat
- companion seat
- remaining two seats
However, as the wheelchair and companion seats are less likely to fill up quickly, it might be best to book the seats for your husband and other son first so you can get seats near the accessible seating first, then go back and buy the accessible seats.
When you buy them you can see a map of the seats so you’ll know if they are near or not. (note all cars on the train have accessible seating so you might need to change the car if you don’t see accessible seats. If the Shinkansen between Osaka-Tokyo it should be car 11.)
