NEX火車搭乘舒適且快速，雖然找機台領票花了一點時間，品川站內有大型商場，應有盡有，非常方便，買便當零食伴手禮等皆有，非常開心。

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I board the Shinkansen directly using a QR Code displayed on my phone?

Yes. After booking with KKday, you'll receive a dedicated QR Code. Simply scan it at the QR scanner area on the automated ticket gate to enter the station directly, with no need to visit a manned counter or ticket machine for exchange. (Some trains do not support QR Code entry and still require ticket exchange.)

Does the Shinkansen ticket fare include the "Limited Express Ticket" (Tokkyu-ken)?

Yes. Tickets purchased on KKday are a combined total of "Basic Fare Ticket + Limited Express Ticket," covering all fees required to ride the Shinkansen. You don't need to pay any extra fees on-site.

If I miss my train after booking, can I still use this ticket?

If you booked a "Reserved Seat" and missed your train, the ticket can typically still be used to board a later train on the same route on the same day, but only in "Non-Reserved Seats."

How large can my luggage be on the Shinkansen?

If the combined length of your luggage's three sides exceeds 160 cm (large luggage of about 28 inches or more), please be sure to book a "Seat with Oversized Luggage Space." Bringing oversized luggage without a reservation may result in additional fees, and the luggage placement will be designated by the train staff.

Can I choose a window seat with scenic views (like Mt. Fuji)?

Yes. KKday offers online seat selection, allowing you to choose between a "Window Seat" or an "Aisle Seat." On certain routes (such as Tokyo to Osaka), choosing a window seat gives you the chance to enjoy stunning views of Mt. Fuji from the train.

Can I cancel or refund my ticket after booking on KKday?

Yes. Cancellation policies vary depending on the ticket type, but you can typically request a refund within a certain number of days before the travel date. Please check the specific refund and change policy for your order before booking (a service fee will be deducted).

How can I check which platform my train departs from?

Your e-voucher will show the train number (e.g., Nozomi 99). Upon arriving at the station, check the electronic departure board in the concourse and match the train number to find the correct departure platform (Track Number).

Can I eat or drink inside the Shinkansen?

Yes. Enjoying an "Ekiben" (railway bento box) on board is a great part of traveling in Japan. All Shinkansen seats are equipped with a fold-down tray for dining. To preserve the environment and respect other passengers, please avoid strongly-flavored foods and take your trash with you or dispose of it in the platform bins when disembarking.

Do children need to buy a ticket to ride the Shinkansen?

Children under 6 may ride for free if they do not occupy a seat. If a separate seat is needed, or if one adult is accompanying more than two infants, a child ticket must be purchased. Children aged 6–11 are required to purchase a child ticket (approximately half the adult fare).

What is the latest I can book a same-day ticket?

KKday supports instant booking. As long as seats remain on the train, you can complete your online booking and payment up to 1 hour before departure. After successful payment, the system will quickly send the QR Code voucher, allowing you to easily handle your transportation even on the way to the station.
