Hi,
I'm currently traveling in Japan and wish to know about the validity of the JR pass on last day.
However, the staff here seems to have problem on English communication so I have to ask here =(
On my 7th day of jr pass (7 day pass), I reserved a ticket of hamanasu overnight train from Sapporo to Aomori, which will reach Aomori about 6am in the morning, however I wish to travel to Tokyo using Hayabusa Shinkansen, and I know also the JR pass will cover the basic fare before first gate you exit, and here is the problem:
- To get on the Shinkansen in Shin-Aomori , I have to go through the Shinkansen special gate, is that counted as exiting the gate? Will the person let me in?
- If I pay for 指定席料金 (since hayabusa is all reserved seat) can I travel safe from Shin-Aomori to Tokyo ?
- What should I do if the person in Tokyo Station stop me while trying to exit the gate(if the above methods working) Please write me some japanese explanation if possible so I can show it when needed.
Please help it's in urgent! Thanks a lot!
