JR Central and JR West have changed car 3 of the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen ‘Nozomi’ from non-reserved to reserved seating starting today, March 15.
When ‘Nozomi’ started operations on March 14, 1992, all 16 cars were reserved seating, but on October 1, 2003, non-reserved seating was introduced, designating cars 1 to 3 as non-reserved with a total of 250 seats. However, since December 2023, during peak periods such as Golden Week, Obon, and the year-end/New Year holidays, all cars have been operated as reserved seating.
With the 85 seats in car 3 being converted to reserved seating, each train now has a total of 1,158 or 1,154 reserved seats including the Green Car, depending on the train configuration.
