Ogizawa to Nagano 2016/4/19 17:21
Hi,

I plan to take Alpine route on 15May16, and plan to start at 7:40 in the morning, let say I arrived at Ogizawa at 18:00 (estimation). What is the best way to go to Tokyo?

Regards,

I suppose it is good to start early considering possible crowdedness with visitors (because 15 May will be a Sunday); even so, if you start from Tateyama before 8:00 you can arrive to Ogizawa earlier than 17:00, I guess.

Where in Tokyo is your destination?
Which station on what line is close to it?

Kurobe option ticket 2016/4/22 10:19
Many thanks, as we understand that 15 May is Sunday and there is possibility of crowdedness. Since, I arrive in Japan on 12 May and just able to buy online ticket in JR station on that day, I'm afraid it will be too late to get available seat on 15 May. Is it better for me to book directly now via web? Instead of relying on option ticket, despite it is far cheaper than ordinary ticket via web. This is because kurobe option ticket is not offered online
