When will I get confirmation for my booking?
It depends on the ticket pick-up method.
For QR code direct boarding: Most bookings are confirmed instantly, except during system maintenance (23:50-05:00, GMT+9). For bookings made over 30 days in advance, you'll receive confirmation at least 30 days before your departure date. We’ll secure your tickets as soon as they’re available on the official JR system.
