Was it between March 25-27? I was on a train from Kyoto to Kanazawa, all reserved seats were sold out, I had to stand on the train for an hour !!!! The JR staff told us it was their Japanese holidays, so seats were of high demand.
has anyone been there this easter holdiays? can you share which ticket types you bought for adults and kids? I'm thinking of 1 day pass for kid, but for adult, pay as I go.
