The 'Ekinet App' is an amazing application that allows you to easily book and manage your reservations for Shinkansen and express trains, all without the hassle of paper tickets. With this app, you can effortlessly make reservations, adjust details, and even receive refunds directly from your smartphone. Additionally, it offers great convenience as you can use your mobile Suica card to board the Shinkansen and earn extra JRE POINTs when using View Card Gold for payment. This fantastic app covers a variety of Shinkansen lines such as Tohoku, Hokkaido, Joetsu, Hokuriku, Yamagata, and Akita.

The app allows users to easily reserve seats on high-speed express trains through the 'Ekinet Ticketless Service.' Simply tap your Suica card or another IC card you possess to use as your train ticket. This service is compatible with various express trains including Chuo, Joban, Tokaido, Narita Express, Takasaki, Boso, Kamakura, and JR Hokkaido. However, it's important to note that some trains only offer the 'Tokuda Value' (ticketless) option, while others exclusively provide the 'Ekinet Ticketless Seat Reservation Ticket' option.

The Ekinet App offers a range of exciting features to enhance your experience. You can easily log in using your fingerprint or face scan, view upcoming reservations on the home screen, and make new reservations with just a few taps using the favorite function. Additionally, you can manage, modify, or cancel your reservations without any difficulty. The app also allows you to pre-register for Ekinet Ticketless Service and secure a reservation up to two months in advance. You can book for up to six people and receive an 'Ekinet Usage Receipt and Receipt' directly from the app. To get started, simply sign up as a member. If you're already an Ekinet member, use your registered user ID to log in. New users can easily become Ekinet members on our website before accessing the app. It's that simple!
