- Otsuki's Trip Highlights staying in temple in kyoto, oysters in matsushima "All of our reservations were made when we first arived in Tokyo at the JR ticket office in the Shinjiku Station. The JR travel office has direct access to the reservation system and so it is the easiest way for tourists to arrange both train and hotel reservations."
