How to purchase Train Tickets during Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan

Rugby World Cup 2019™ in Japan

As many of you may already know, the Rugby World Cup will take place in 2019 Autumn, for the first time to be held in Japan.

When to purchase train tickets?

Tickets for Rugby World Cup 2019 are already on sale for all 48 matches.
As for Shinkansen tickets which you may need to purchase to visit the tournament venues, you can purchase from a month before your traveling date (it is regulation by Japan Railway).

However, with Shinkansen-ticket.com, you can place your order anytime in advance!
Our experienced staff will make sure to arrange your tickets on the date/time you wish, so once you have booked your Rugby game ticket, go ahead and book your train ticket from Shinkansen-ticket.com!

Or, if you plan to visit more than two stadiums, then using JR Pass may be a better idea, as you can travel as many places in Japan with JR Pass (Nationwide).
Please visit here and choose the best pass that fits your journey during the game season.
