JR Hokkaido to Revise Seat Reservation and Special Car Fees from March 14, 2026
JR Central will introduce an identity authentication service (3D Secure) for credit card payments on “Express Reservation” starting from 5:30 AM on March 22.
They are urging customers to make necessary settings in advance, as it may not be possible to reserve or change bookings on “Express Reservation” without setting up the authentication service.
There will be no changes to the login method and reservation procedures for Express Reservation.
