The applicable sections and trains are all Nozomi services operating on the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen between Tokyo and Hakata stations. Passengers may stand on the ordinary-car decks with a non-reserved limited express ticket, but they are not allowed to take a seat even if there are vacant seats.
Normally, cars 1 and 2 on Nozomi services are designated as non-reserved seating. Hikari and Kodama services will continue to offer non-reserved seats as usual.
