In conjunction with the “Shiawase no Kaze Fukushima” Destination Campaign to be held throughout Fukushima Prefecture in spring from April 1 to June 30, JR East will offer special rates for “Shinkansen e-Ticket” and “Ticketless Express Ticket for Conventional Lines,” which are Ekinet products redeemable with JRE POINT.
The period is from April 1 to 24, and applies to reserved seats in ordinary cars on both the Tohoku Shinkansen “Yamabiko” and “Nasuno” trains and the Joban Line limited express “Hitachi” train. For example, the normal exchange rate for the Yamabiko and Nasuno between Tokyo and Fukushima is 8,000 pts, but during the period, the special exchange rate of 5,000 pts will be available, saving 3,000 yen.
In addition, the regular exchange point number for the Hitachi between Tokyo and Iwaki/Haranomachi is 2,100 pts, but it can be exchanged for 1,300 pts, a savings of 800 yen.
The exchange period begins at 10:00 a.m. one month prior to the boarding date.
