questions about trains and other stuff

Hi,

on booking trains: Is it possible to reserve any train at any station? On the shinkansen page of this site, it says that any shinkansen can be reserved at any station up to a month in advance. But what about the regular trains? The page about regular trains does not mention this.

This is only of interest for me during two days where I expect the limited express trains to be full and I want to book those trains in advance.

Secondly, one question about a train connection from Hyperdia. The train from OTSUKI to SHIMOYOSHIDA (leaving at 10:48 am, April 4th); it says ''order ticket''. I have not seen that before. Do I have to order that in advance? Is it a train that only runs if enough tickets are ordered? I cannot catch the train before and the next would mean a 50 minute wait, that's why I am asking.

Lastly, about the travel reports I uploaded. Is there any interest in those as they are not from Japan?

Thanks for any answers.

The thing is the same for JR LTD. EXP train. You can reserve any JR LTD EXP ticket at any JR station with ticket counter.

The Fujikyu is specially operated for hikers around area, which means all seats on the train are reserved seat. 200yen is considered a seat fee. Probably the seat ticket wont be sold out.

Is it possible to reserve any train at any station?
JR trains can be reserved at JR stations etc: private railways at their stations
ie you cannot reserve a Nankai train at a JR station
Your reports from the German Japanese gardens and the history behind them were fascinating: I enjoyed them immensely, and learnt a lot: thank you :-)

I read them - very interesting plus lovely photos - thanks for sharing - who knew such places were in Germany.... :)

Thanks for the answers about the trains.

As for the travel reports, I will upload more once it isn't gray and gloomy outside :D
