Japan Travel Guide – How to buy train tickets ONLINE directly from the train operator’s website?
A step-by-step COMPLETE GUIDE to help you reserve seats on EXPRESS trains and Bullet trains (SHINKANSEN) in Japan on a website called Eki-net. This is the OFFICIAL TICKET BOOKING website of the JR East company, which is the largest company under the Japan Railways Group (JR). This JR East company operates most of the trains in Tokyo and surrounding areas, and the north east areas of Japan. If you come to Tokyo and you see the green JR, that’s the one. The popular Yamanote Line is also operated by this company.
You can access to this website using your computers or smartphones. The website is available in English and other languages. There’s also an app for this website, but some reason, it didn’t work when I tried it out 🙂 using the website version was ok. it was not the best user-friendly experience, but it got the job done!
Reserving a seat on express trains or bullet trains helps you AVOID WAITING at ticket counters + SAVE YOUR TIME. And you can buy tickets BEFORE coming to Japan!

Awesome detail, thank you fr Singapore!! Makes my upcoming trip so much more exciting. Instead of stressing about tickets 🥰 But could you please share if I can still use the regular SUICA cards I purchased back in 2015(it has 10years validity), however read recently that 'unregistered card' cannot be used?? If that's the case, will JR East at Narita airport allow for return of both cards? Please advice. Thanks again. I love all of youd videos and subscribed them.
Thank you 🙂
Thank you for the video. Coming back to Japan soon after 3 years. Your information has been useful for me
