Q.Can I board an earlier train than the one I reserved?

You can change your reserved train as many times as you like free of charge, as long as you have not entered the ticket gate and have not picked up your ticket, and your reserved train’s departure time has not passed. You can change your reservation to an earlier train yourself.

If you do not chage your reservation by yourself, only on the boarding date and only for non-reserved seats, you may get on an earlier train than the one you have reserved (excluding the Hayatoku products).

*The Hayatoku fares offer discounts subject to special conditions of use, and are valid only for the reserved train and class of service (You cannot use a different class of service on the same train or board a different train, including non-reserved seats). If you wish to use a different class of service on the same train or board a different train, please note that you must additionally pay the normal limited express fare or Green car (First class car) fare or otherwise purchase a required ticket.
