You don’t need to register your credit card information within the app. - Make reservations via JR-EAST Train Reservation directly within the app, allowing ticketless travel on JR East Shinkansen and limited express services to major destinations such as Narita Airport, Tokyo, Shinjuku, Yokohama, and Mt. Fuji. - You can ride non-reserved seats on the Tohoku, Hokkaido, Akita, Yamagata, Joetsu, or Hokuriku Shinkansen without buying a paper ticket.* *For details on where “Touch de Go!
