Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen: Revisions to ‘Express Reservations’ and ‘Smart EX’

JR Central, JR West, and JR Kyushu will revise their ‘Express Reservations’ and ‘Smart EX’ products.

This spring, due to fare revisions in some areas, the ‘EX Service’ prices for certain sections will be adjusted. Early discount packages will see price revisions on some products, with changes to the product lineup and expansion of applicable sections.

A new ‘EX Family Hayatoku 7’ will be introduced for groups of 2 to 6 on the Tokaido Shinkansen’s ‘Hikari’ and ‘Kodama’ services. ‘EX Hayatoku 7’ will be newly available between Tokyo/Shinagawa/Shin-Yokohama and Nagoya/Kyoto/Shin-Osaka. Additionally, the price of ‘EX Hayatoku 21’ (currently ‘EX Hayatoku 21 Wide’) will be revised, and changes to bookings will become impossible. ‘EX Hayatoku 3’ (currently ‘EX Hayatoku 3’, ‘EX Green Hayatoku 3 Wide’, ‘EX Kodama Green Hayatoku 3’) will undergo price changes, and a new product will be available for ‘Hikari’ services. ‘EX Hayatoku Wide’, ‘EX Nozomi Family Hayatoku 3’, and ‘EX Kodama Family Hayatoku 3’ will be abolished.

The currently available early discount products will end with rides as of April 24. The renewed early discount products will be applicable from rides on May 7.

By spring 2026, with the termination of round-trip ticket sales by the JR Group, ‘EX Service’ will also end the sales of round-trip discount products.
