JR East has begun integrating its online reservation system “ekinet” with Apple Maps. When searching for routes within the JR East area on Apple Maps, users can now seamlessly transition to “ekinet”. This allows them to purchase tickets smoothly on “ekinet” while retaining the route they searched for. The service covers routes that are entirely within the JR East area, as well as the Hokkaido Shinkansen section (between Shin-Aomori Station and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station). On Apple Maps, the link to “ekinet” will be displayed when searching for travel dates within the next two weeks. Is there anything else you would like me to clarify or expand upon regarding this translation?
