Simple Way to Book Shinkansen Bullet Train Tokyo to Kyoto

Buying Shinkansen tickets at Tokyo Station 🚄🇯🇵

We grabbed our bullet train tickets from Tokyo Station and were on our way to Kyoto in no time! The process is surprisingly easy — ticket machines have English options, staff are incredibly helpful, and trains run right on schedule (down to the minute).

Pro tip: If you’re taking the Tokaido Shinkansen, reserve seats during busy seasons and ask for a window seat on the right side for a chance to see Mt. Fuji on a clear day. 🗻✨

Fast, efficient, and such a smooth way to travel between Tokyo and Kyoto!
