A one-way Shinkansen Nozomi ticket
linking Tokyo, Kyoto and Shin-Osaka
The Golden Route connecting Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka is the most popular route for first-time visitors to Japan. With this ticket you ride the Tokaido Shinkansen Nozomi one way between Tokyo - Shin-Osaka, Tokyo - Kyoto or Shin-Osaka - Kyoto. For a round trip, buy two one-way tickets.
Ordinary or Green Car,
choose your seat
Ordinary Cars are the standard class, with comfortable seats and adequate legroom. Green Cars are the Shinkansen's premium class, offering wider, more comfortable seats and extra legroom.
Non-reserved seats let you ride any train of the same type that day, sitting in the non-reserved cars on a first-come, first-served basis; you can get a reserved seat at the station for an extra fee. Reserved seats have a fixed departure time and seat; if you miss the train or change the time, the base ticket stays valid but the seat must be rebooked.
