Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) and West Japan Railway Company (JR West) will expand the periods during which Nozomi trains on the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen operate with no non-reserved cars, offering only reserved seats.
In addition to the existing peak travel seasons of Golden Week, the Obon summer holidays, and the New Year holidays, the Silver Week holiday period will newly be included. The applicable periods are from April 24 to May 6, from August 7 to 16, from September 18 to 23, and from December 25 to January 5, 2027.
The対象 sections and trains are all Nozomi services operating on the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen between Tokyo and Hakata stations. While passengers holding Shinkansen commuter passes or non-reserved seat limited express tickets may stand in the ordinary car vestibule area, they may not take a seat even if there are vacant seats.
Normally, cars 1 and 2 on Nozomi trains are designated as non-reserved seating. Hikari and Kodama services will continue to offer non-reserved seating as usual.
