Shin-Keisei Line to Become Keisei Matsudo Line Starting April, No Changes to Fares or Schedule
JR Central will set up ‘family-friendly cars’ on the Tokaido Shinkansen ‘Nozomi’ trains during the Golden Week period.
Car No. 12, located near the multipurpose room and toilet, is designated for families, allowing them to use the Shinkansen without worrying about the surroundings. The designated dates are April 26, 27, 29, and May 2 to 6. Each day, 2 to 4 trains in each direction will feature this setup, totaling 46 trains.
Reservations can be made through the ‘EX Service’ online booking, at station ticket counters, and in the same manner as regular tickets. Tickets go on sale at 10 AM one month prior to the ride. Prices are the same as regular reserved seats, and children under 6 using the same seat as their guardians are free. However, if children under 6 use a seat independently, a ‘child’ fare ticket is required.
Additionally, all ‘Nozomi’ trains from April 25 to May 6 will have all reserved seats, with no unreserved seating available.
