Hi y’all!
I’m heading out to Japan in about a month and a half, and I’m looking to ride on Tobu Railway’s SpaciaX train while there. Tobu’s website states that I can only purchase a Limited express ticket through their online system, while still requiring a regular ticket to ride. Does this mean I need to purchase the regular ticket at the station when I arrive, or is there some other way to purchase the regular ticket online before hand?
Does buying the regular ticket at the station apply to other rail lines as well? From what I understand, the JR reservation systems allow for purchasing the base fare and upgrade/ltd. express tickets in one go, but the smaller, private rail lines seem to all have a system that only allows for the purchase of a ltd. express ticket.
On a similar note, do the Sunrise Seto tickets purchased through JR West come with the base fare, or will I need to purchase the base ticket separately?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated on this. Thank you!
