Tell us your preferred departure date and time slot when booking; we will reserve the nearest Nozomi train and email your QR code ticket.
Choose your direction and seat
Tickets are available in both directions for each route, with non-reserved (Ordinary Car), reserved (Ordinary Car) and reserved (Green Car) seats.
The Green Car is a premium class with wider, more comfortable seats and more legroom than the Ordinary Car.
Non-reserved vs reserved seats
Non-reserved tickets are valid on any train of the same type on the selected day; sit in any free seat in the non-reserved cars (first come, first served). You may have to stand if seats are full, and you can pay extra at the station for a reserved seat.
Reserved tickets have a fixed departure time and seat. If you miss your train or change the time, the ticket remains valid, but you may need to rebook a seat.
Book the oversized baggage option for large luggage
If your luggage measures 160-250 cm in total dimensions, please also book the oversized baggage seat option. It can only be used with reserved (Ordinary or Green Car) tickets.
Luggage over 250 cm is not allowed on the train.
※ The price is for a one-way trip. For a round trip, please book two tickets.
※ Prices and timetables may change without notice.
