Mitsuke is small enough to walk across, so almost anywhere central works. We still do not sell the room.

Common questions about JR East

What does JR East run?

The cheapest JR East fare we sell is €11.88 for one passenger, across 168 routes. The median route runs 65 km in a straight line. Fares include taxes, supplier fees and our service fee, so the figure here is the figure at checkout.

Are JR East tickets refundable?

JR East fares are refundable up to two hours before departure and can be changed at no charge, across all 168 routes we sell. The condition is shown again on the offer and once more before you pay, because it is the thing travellers most often get wrong.

What is on board an JR East service?

JR East publishes Power sockets, Wi-Fi across its fleet, on the 168 routes we sell. A median journey with this carrier runs about 28m, which is long enough for the difference between a carrier with power sockets and one without to matter.

What is the longest route JR East runs?

Where does JR East operate?

JR East is based in Japan and runs routes we sell in 1 countries. The places it calls at most often are Jōetsu, Minamiuonuma, Tōkamachi. Those are computed from the routes in the catalogue rather than from anything the carrier tells us about its own network.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
