  • Hi,

    The trains are split up into reserved seats, unreserved seats and green cars. You can reserve your seat beforehand with your JR Pass:

    There is no dedicated luggage space on the trains, so if you can, travel as light as possible, or travel in the Green Car for more leg room.

    Nozomi, Hikari and Kodoma will depart from different stations all around Japan, sometimes from the same ones. The name of the trains are written at the front and sides of each of them, so you know which one you are taking.

    Kind regards,
