If
passenger boards a train without a reserved-seat ticket, or if the
reserved-seating area of the train is full, the passenger will have to travel in
the non-reserved-seating area. If this happens, the difference in fare between
reserved seat and non-reserved seat will not be refunded. When using trains on
which the seat reservation is mandatory such as the Tohoku Shinkansen
Hayate, Akita Shinkansen Komachi and Narita Express, the passenger will not be
permitted to board without seat reservation.

Passenger may obtain a refund for the
Exchange Voucher at the office or travel agent that issued it within one year
from the issue according to the regulation of each sales office. A JR EAST PASS

from the refund. No refund can be made for any reason after the first date of
use.
