Hi, I am from India and have to attend a conference in Yokohama from 28 march to 1 April. I arrive at Nikita and would travel by train to yokohama, do I require reservation in advance or can I get ticket on the day of arrival?
For Shinkansen is it possible to book the ticket now and then select the seats later, I guess the seat selection goes live only 1 month before?
