It depends on the route.
As it says on:
http://www.japanrailpass.net/en/about_jrp.html

There are no Green Cars on most “HIKARI” and “KODAMA” trains on the Sanyo Shinkansen line (Shin-Osaka~Hakata), or on some “SAKURA” and “TSUBAME” Series 800 trains on the Kyushu Shinkansen line.

Hi Tenjin,

Yes, from my itineary, I will only use Sanyo Shinkansen to Hiroshima. The rest will be on the tokaido shinkansen. This line is not mentioned in the website of not having the green cars. Meaning should be having the green cars right?
Thanks.

Cheers,

To add on, in the hyperdia website, seat fee divided into 3 categories which are green seat, reserved seat and unreserved seat. Does the green seat here mean with the green pass?
Thanks.

The website lists the exceptions. If you look it up on Hyperdia and you can see Green Seats, then yes you can use the Green Pass for them.
