JR Tokai and JR West will operate the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen Nozomi bullet trains (between Tokyo and Hakata) with all reserved seats (no nonreserved seats) during Golden Week in 2024. This service will be available for 11 days from April 26 to May 6.
The measure to make all seats on all Nozomi trains reserved during the three major peak periods (GW, Obon, and year-end and New Year holidays) was started from the year-end and New Year holidays in FY2023.
By eliminating the non-reserved seats normally provided in cars 1-3, the number of reserved seats in ordinary cars has increased by approximately 30% per train, allowing more passengers to make reservations and be seated, and also allowing passengers to travel without having to wait long hours at platforms.
As in the past, the “Nozomi 12 Train Timetable” will be used between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka, and more trains will directly connect to the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines. In addition, the “EX Service” allows passengers to reserve reserved seats up to one year in advance, allowing them to make reservations and purchases in advance for the upcoming GW season.
