Hi all
We are first time visitors to Japan, and plan to visit in April 2025 for the cherry blossom.
Our plan is to travel by train from Tokyo- Shinjuku to Matsumoto, and Matsumoto to kawaguchiko station, then back to Tokyo.
Q1 - Can I check if this is cover under any travel pass? I think the answer is no and we have to buy individual tickets for each leg - so like to confirm this
Q2 - For Tokyo- Shinjuku to Matsumoto, currently on JR East Japan Railway website, I can only purchase November 2024 tickets only. Can I confirm this means that I can only purchase ~1 month in advance
Q3 - Can I check if purchase the ticket will give me an online ticket and I need to be at the station earlier to get the paper ticket, before I can board? Can I be at the station a few days in advance to get the paper ticket? Or can I board with the online reservation ticket?
Thank you!
