Shinkansen information

Shinkansen information

JR's Shinkansen network spans Japan's three main islands, connecting Tokyo with major cities like Fukuoka, Sapporo, and Kyoto. Operating at speeds up to 320 km/h, these bullet trains are renowned for punctuality, silent rides, spacious seating, and unmatched safety. Regional rail passes (e.g. , JR Pass, Hokkaido/Kyushu Area Passes) provide cost-effective unlimited travel. This efficient system invites exploration of Japan's diverse landscapes and landmarks.

JR Pass

JR Pass

The JR Pass, offered by Japan's JR Group, provides unlimited travel on most JR trains, buses, and ferries for 7, 14, or 21 consecutive days, with options for Green Car (premium) or Standard Class seating. However, note that Nozomi/Mizuho Shinkansen services on Tokaido, Sanyo, and Kyushu lines require a supplementary ticket (not included in the standard pass). This affordable, flexible option is ideal for budget-conscious travelers seeking to explore Japan’s cities, regions, and scenic routes seamlessly.

Japan rail ticket classes

Japan rail ticket classes

Japan rail offers three seat classes: Ordinary, Green Car, and Gran Class. Ordinary seats (standard class) are available on all trains, with reserved (assigned seating) or unreserved (first-come, first-served) options. Green Car (first class) provides wider, reclining seats, quieter environments, and priority boarding. It costs extra and requires advance reservations. Gran Class (luxury class) is exclusive to select Shinkansen lines, featuring plush 2+1 seating, gourmet meals, and dedicated attendants. Ideal for premium comfort, it’s pricier but unmatched in service and style.

Shinkansen prices

Shinkansen prices

Shinkansen fares in Japan consist of a base fare (distance-based) and a Shinkansen supplement (express fee). For example, Tokyo to Osaka costs JPY14,300–JPY14,900 for Ordinary Car seats (non-reserved to reserved), while Green Car (first class) is roughly JPY20,000 (30–50% higher). Gran Class (luxury) ranges from JPY20,000 to JPY40,000+, even with a JR Pass (which covers only base fares). The JR Pass offers cost-effective unlimited travel (excluding Nozomi/Mizuho trains), but seats must be reserved in advance.
