Experience the ultimate in high-speed rail travel with the Nozomi Shinkansen. Whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, the Nozomi Shinkansen offers a variety of seating options to cater to your needs. 

Choose from Reserved and Non-Reserved seats, ensuring flexibility and convenience. Reserved seats guarantee you a spot on your chosen train, eliminating the stress of last-minute travel. Non-Reserved seats offer flexibility for spontaneous travel plans, allowing you to hop on the next available train if there's no seats available on the train. 

For those seeking an elevated experience, Nozomi offers Green Car with more spacious seats and a quieter environment. Alternatively, the Ordinary Car offers a comfortable and cost-effective way to travel, ensuring you reach your destination swiftly and smoothly.

Green Car and Ordinary Car

For an efficient and affordable trip the Ordinary Car on the Nozomi Shinkansen offers great value. Unlike the Green Car, you can choose Non-Reserved seats, making transfers easier as you just find any available seat. However, this flexibility can lead to more crowded conditions.

For enhanced comfort, choose the Green Car, marked by the green clover symbol. It offers spacious seating with ample legroom, ensuring a relaxed journey. Seat reservations are required and can be made during the booking process with Japantrips, guaranteeing a comfortable and stress-free travel experience.
