JR Central and JR West announced that from today, April 26, until May 6, during the Golden Week holiday period, the ‘Nozomi’ service on the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen will operate with all seats reserved, discontinuing non-reserved seating.
While it’s possible to ride standing in the ordinary car with a non-reserved express ticket, finding an available seat to sit in is not allowed. The ‘Hikari’ and ‘Kodama’ services will continue to offer non-reserved seating as usual. This measure was also implemented during the New Year holidays, increasing the number of ordinary reserved seats by about 30%, and helped alleviate congestion on the platforms.
