What are the differences between the Ordinary Car and the Green Car?

For a more efficient, affordable, and hassle-free journey, choose the Ordinary Car. With no seat reservations required, transferring between trains becomes effortless. However, keep in mind that the Ordinary Car might be more crowded than the Green Car due to the availability of free seating.

Travel comfortably on Ordinary cars with 2+3 or 2+2 seating layouts

But, if you seek added comfort during your train journey, the Green Car is ideal. Identified by the green clover symbol, these cars boast spacious seating and ample legroom for your comfort. Reservations are mandatory and can be made at the JR ticket office after redeeming your JR Pass. While you can travel in both Green and Ordinary Cars with a Green Car pass, the Ordinary Car pass limits you to Ordinary Car travel only.
