Japan’s East Japan Railway Company (JR East) has begun integrating its apps for international visitors, “Welcome Suica Mobile” and “JR-EAST Train Reservation,” expanding its ticketless services.
Starting October 1, travelers will be able to use ticketless services by reserving Shinkansen e-Tickets on the Tohoku/Hokkaido, Akita, Yamagata, Joetsu, and Hokuriku Shinkansen lines, as well as ticketless limited express tickets for the Narita Express, Fuji Excursion, Kaiji, and Azusa.
JR East also plans to add the ability to purchase tickets for the Limited Express Odoriko and Saphir Odoriko in January 2026, and to purchase Ordinary Train Green Car tickets (required to ride Green Cars on local and rapid trains) in spring 2026.
To use these services, you will need to install or update the apps.
