Great service from the JR staff. The process was simple, swapping and using it on the same day. If purchased with details fill out there is no need for the staff to scan passport and check the credit card. Everything can be done within a couple of minutes.

It is easy to redeem but didn’t have the reservation number so could not do seat reservations online and have to do using the seat reservations using paper tickets at the machine. Plus, Kyushu rail running 10% off promotion if buy from them directly.
