What is the Green Car JR Pass?
Experience premium rail travel in Japan
Understanding the Green Pass
The Green Pass is the first class version of the Japan Rail Pass. It grants you access to Green cars (グリーン車) on Shinkansen bullet trains and limited express services - the equivalent of first class or business class seating.
Named after the green four-leaf clover symbol that marks these premium carriages, Green class has been JR's premium offering since 1969. It provides a noticeably more spacious and refined travel experience.
Like the Ordinary Pass, the Green Pass offers unlimited travel on JR trains nationwide. The difference is purely in comfort - you'll travel in wider seats with more legroom and premium amenities.
What you get with Green class
Premium features that make your journey more comfortable
Extra-wide seats
Green class seats are approximately 47-48cm wide compared to 43-44cm in Ordinary class. The 2+2 seating configuration (instead of 2+3) gives you more personal space and elbow room.
Generous legroom
With a seat pitch of 1,160mm compared to 1,040mm in Ordinary class, you'll have 12cm more legroom to stretch out. Many Green class seats also feature footrests for additional comfort.
Power at every seat
Every Green class seat has its own power outlet, so you can keep your devices charged throughout your journey. Perfect for working or entertainment on longer trips.
Quieter carriages
With fewer seats and passengers, Green class carriages are noticeably quieter. Business travelers and those seeking a peaceful journey will appreciate the more serene atmosphere.
