there is no way a foreigner can book the reservation, they require japanese address, phone number, and name to book and register .
ReplyDeleteYou can use hotel address (where you stay in Japan) and hotel's phone number. Moreover, you can buy the ticket at the counter on the travel date if the seats are not full.
