Japan Travel Tips

 

The bullet trains in Japan, are called 'SHINKANSEN'!!

Using My JR PASS.

'Shinkansen' is the fastest speed train in Japan, operated by JR. With running speeds up to 320 km/h (200 miles/h)!
There are several kinds of Bullet Train/Shinkansen. The JR PASS cannot be used for travel on the NOZOMI and the MIZUHO Shinkansen, but can be used on all other Shinkansen. HIKARI, KODAMA, SAKURA, HAYABUSA, etc. Most of the Shinkansen have 3 kinds of train cars, Non- reserved seat car / reserved seat car / Green car (all reserved seat). The Green car is first class, just like on an airplane! If you have the ordinary pass, you can use the Non-reserved seat car and the Reserved seat car. Advance seat reservations are required to use a seat in the Reserved seat car. No additional fee is required.

If you have a JR Green Pass, you can use the Green car. The advantage, obviously, is that you can enjoy the extra space and the much more comfortable seats. Please show your JR PASS when making your seat reservation at the JR booking office, and enjoy your trip!

What is the difference between Green and Ordinary ?

JR operates more than 100 limited express trains and there are many styles of Green seats. In general, we can say, The Green Class Car is equipped with upscale super-comfortable seats, that are wider and more spacious than the Ordinary cars. The car is also carpeted, has extra room for luggage, and most of the car attendants will provide you with a hot towel upon boarding. Depending on the season, the Ordinary Class Car will become very crowded, with little space to place luggage.
