Choose your train with a clear understanding of the ticket, payment and travel steps. 9Rail is an independent booking service.
What should I check in the price?
Search with your actual date and passenger counts. Compare the selected train and seat class, then review the final total and any listed fees before paying.
A point-to-point ticket is for the selected journey. It is not a JR Pass; if you already hold a pass, check its coverage before buying a separate ticket.
Which seat should I choose?
Choose from the seat classes returned for your departure. Ordinary reserved seats suit most journeys; Green Car offers more space when available. A reserved ticket is for the train and seat shown on the issued ticket.
Adjacent seats, a particular side of the train and a Mount Fuji view are requests, not guarantees. Check any special seating needs before payment.
What happens after payment?
Tickets are processed within 30 minutes during issuing hours: daily 06:00–23:00 Japan time (UTC+9), for tickets already on sale.
The Japan railway system is under maintenance from 23:00 to 06:00 the next day. No tickets are issued during this period. Orders are processed after issuing resumes at 06:00; maintenance time is excluded from the 30-minute processing window.
Advance bookings for tickets not yet on sale are processed once railway sales open. Check the advance-booking details for your selected ticket.
Payment confirmation is separate from ticket issuance. After issuance, follow the e-ticket, collection or exchange instructions in your email or My Order. Only a document explicitly identified as a boarding ticket can be used at the gate.
Can I travel with large luggage?
Check the baggage rules for your selected train, including any size limits or advance arrangement. Some oversized bags require a designated seat or baggage reservation.
A normal seat reservation does not by itself confirm oversized baggage space. If the required option is not shown, contact support before booking.
How do I book for children?
Enter the correct adult and child counts when searching. Child fares and the conditions for young children depend on the selected product and whether a separate seat is needed.
Check the ages and seat requirements before payment. If the search form does not cover your family’s needs, ask support rather than booking an adult-only journey.
Can I change or refund my booking?
Submit your refund request at least 2 hours before departure. A 20% cancellation fee is deducted from the refund.
Open the booking in My Order and submit a refund request, or contact support for help. A submitted request is not a completed refund; check your order status and email for the outcome. The time for funds to reach your account depends on your payment provider.
For a change, contact support before departure to confirm the conditions for your selected ticket. Wait for confirmation before relying on a revised journey.
