I wasn't able to ride due to personal circumstances, so a refund would probably be difficult, right?

I figured it would be a very busy booking period because of the fireworks festival. At first, I thought about booking directly on the Shinkansen website, but I couldn't figure it out, so I decided to let Klook book it for me. The app allowed me to book unreserved seats immediately.
