Tobu Railway has officially launched TOBU Japan Trip Tickets, its new digital ticket platform for inbound tourists.
Designed to streamline travel across eastern Japan, this English-language website allows international visitors to book rail and bus tickets in advance using just their smartphone, removing the need to queue at station counters.
Through the site, travellers can purchase limited express trains including the award-winning SPACIA X; reserved seat tickets for the nostalgic SL Taiju steam train; as well as area passes such as the NIKKO PASS and KAWAGOE DISCOUNT PASS
Each transaction can cover up to eight tickets, which can be shared with fellow travellers.
To use the tickets, each person must register their email address on the official platform site, even for shared bookings.
Also, English language support is enabled to make railway travel more accessible to foreign travellers in Japan.
