Hi,
We're heading directly to Niseko from Chitose airport and after a few days in the snow are planning on getting the sleeper from Sapporo to Tokyo. We've already got our 7 day rail passes (arrived very quickly after ordering online!)
We need to exchange the vouchers for the actual rail pass at a station office - this is likely to have to be in Sapporo rather than the station nearest to Niseko.
My question is - can we reserve / book seats on the sleeper from Sapporo to Tokyo before we have exchanged the voucher for the rail pass?
I know we will have to pay extra for the sleeper with the rail pass.
Kind regards,
Andrew
