Golden Week Shinkansen booking via travel apps
今年のゴールデンウィークは連休が長いので、早めにアプリで新幹線の指定席を予約しておかないと満席になってしまいます。
Since this year's Golden Week has a long string of holidays, if you don't book Shinkansen reserved seats early via an app, they will become fully booked.
Cultural Context
Japan's Golden Week (April 25–May 7, 2026) is one of the busiest domestic travel periods of the year. JTB surveys show overseas travel bookings are up 30% this year. Booking Shinkansen reserved seats well in advance via apps like Ekinet or JRE POINT app is essential to avoid sold-out trains.
