JR Central and JR West released a new free smartphone app, the Tokaido Sanyo Shinkansen Reservation App, through which users may purchase tickets for the Tokaido Sanyo bullet train line.
This is Japan’s main railway line connecting Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Hakata and other destinations.
Although Shinkansen tickets may be purchased at station ticket offices in Japan, this new app makes it easy and simple to book and buy tickets from countries outside of Japan. Booking can be changed as many times as required without any additional charge. “This app is a must have for anyone doing business or traveling in Japan,” JR Central says.
The app’s features include book seats and tickets purchase, change reservations, receive tickets, without train restrictions, as tickets may be booked and purchased for all Tokaido Sanyo line trains, including the fastest NOZOMI, with up to 10 departures per hour during peak times.
Currently, the app service is provided in the United States, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong.
