Thank you for replying to my earlier query on shinkansen ride from Odawara to Nikko. However, I am still confused about the JR train option. May I request that you provide me with the link for online reservation of:
i). JR Tokai
ii). JR Higashi Nippon
iii). JR Nikko local train
If I fail to reserve online for the above 3 train rides, could I make reservation by visiting the JR East travel service center at Narita airport upon arrival or do I need to do it by visiting 3 different JR offices?

Hi there,

I checked if there is the website for booking online of JR Tokai, but there's no service that you can use, it's only in Japan and who has the specific credit card.
So, at the moment there's no way to book the JR Tokai's Shinkansen ticket via internet.

So if you want to take a Shinkansen ride from Odawara to Tokyo, you have to go to the ticket office at Odawara or on your way at JR Ticket Office (Midori-no-madoguchi), Travel Service Center (View Plaza) or Information Center located in certain major JR East stations

2) This is the online booking site, but you need to get your ID.

3)Local train doesn't accept the bookings, you don't need it.

I'm sorry I didn't know that the systems were so much inconvenient even for Japanese!!

Please ask further if you have any other questions, and am sure you will...

Thank you
