Hi JRsan,
I will be traveling from Airport New Chitose bij train to Sapporo JR Station.
My idea was to buy a Kitaca card from the Ticket Machine and with that pass the traingates.
However I am not sure how I can board the "reserved seat" section?
Do I have to buy an extra "reserved seat ticket" also at the Ticket Machine?
(or is there normally enough unreserved free seating - I will be arriving May 9th)
Please advise,
Thank you very much
Hi there,
If you want to board the reserved section of a train you'll need to have made a reservation at either a machine or a travel desk. Otherwise, you can book a ticket for the unreserved area - either way you'll still have to make a ticket booking.
Hope this helps!
Alexis
