JR East and JR West have announced that during the year-end and New Year period from December 27, 2023, to January 5, 2025, the ‘Nozomi’ services on the Tokaido & Sanyo Shinkansen lines will suspend non-reserved seating and operate with all seats reserved.
Non-reserved seats are usually available in cars 1 to 3. Although passengers with non-reserved seat tickets can board and stand in the ordinary car deck, they are not allowed to sit in any unoccupied seats. The ‘Hikari’ and ‘Kodama’ services will continue to offer non-reserved seating as usual.
It should be noted that reserved seats on the Tokaido & Sanyo Shinkansen can be booked online up to one year in advance of the travel date.
