Upgrade to Nozomi? Or downgrade to ordinary class
Upgrade to Nozomi? Or downgrade to ordinary class
Hi… we are family of 4 already have 4 pass green car. We plan to go to tokyo from Shinosaka… i read in internet that Hikari & kodoma has no green car…how to upgrade to Nozomi green car?
Or should we choose downgrade and reserve ordinary car seat (with financial lost of green car )
Or…. should we take Hikari green car from kyoto to tokyo instead?
Im really confused.
Thx for your help
Hi, sorry for yet another reply – I was on the run before and replied a little shorted so thought I’d share some more information that may help you on your journey in Japan. Navitime has a great tool to see prices, timetables and what type of cars that can be found on each train.
As shown below you can se that Hikari between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka has Green Cars. The Hikari Shinkansen on this route usually exists of 4-5 standard cars for people without reservation, 6-7 standard cars with reserved seating and about 5-6 green cars.
