Japan Rail Tickets, Made Easy
Your Japan Rail journey organised by Japan travel specialists
Travelling by train is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to explore Japan. With Powder Holidays, it can be even easier.
When Japan Rail travel forms part of your Powder Holidays ski package or city accommodation itinerary, our team can arrange your JR tickets, reserve your seats and securely courier your tickets to your accommodation in Japan, ready for your journey.
No queues. No confusing ticket machines. No spending valuable holiday time trying to organise reservations after you arrive.
You simply collect your tickets and travel.
MORE THAN JUST A TRAIN TICKET
Anyone can sell a rail ticket.
Our service is about making the entire journey easier.
Our experienced Japan team can help select suitable train services, manage connections and request the best available seating for your journey.
Where available, we can request:
Mt Fuji-Side Seating
Travelling along the Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Kyoto or Osaka?
We can request seats on the side of the train offering views towards Mt Fuji, giving you the best opportunity to enjoy one of Japan's most famous views during your journey.
Seating requests are subject to availability and weather conditions may affect visibility of Mt Fuji.
Oversized Luggage Seating
Travelling with ski bags or larger suitcases requires a little more planning on some Japanese Shinkansen services.
On applicable Tokaido, Sanyo and Kyushu Shinkansen trains, we can arrange seats with designated oversized baggage space when required and available.
For ski travellers in particular, our team understands that travelling with equipment is different from travelling with a small suitcase.
Seats Together
Travelling as a couple, family or group?
We will request seats together wherever possible, helping make your journey around Japan more comfortable.
Connections Planned For You
Japan's rail network is incredibly efficient, but some journeys require several different trains.
Our team can help organise suitable connections and ticketing as part of your itinerary so you know where you are going before you travel.
YOUR TICKETS DELIVERED IN JAPAN
One of the biggest advantages of booking your Japan Rail tickets through Powder Holidays is how you receive them.
Rather than spending time visiting a ticket office after arriving in Japan, we can securely courier your tickets directly to your accommodation in Japan.
They will be ready for you before your rail journey begins.
Collect your tickets, head to the station and start exploring.
