JR Central will introduce “Family Cars” on its Tokaido Shinkansen Nozomi services.
The cars will be available during Japan’s Obon holiday period, from August 7 to 16, and during the Silver Week holiday period, from September 19 to 23. A total of 136 one-way services will be offered, with two to ten services per day: 90 during Obon and 46 during Silver Week.
Car No. 12, located near the multipurpose room and multipurpose restroom, will be designated for families with children, allowing them to use the Shinkansen without worrying about disturbing other passengers.
Reservations can be made through the online “EX Service” booking system, at station ticket offices, and through other channels, in the same way as regular tickets. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. one month before the travel date. Fares are the same as for standard reserved seats. Children under age 6 who share a seat with a parent or guardian travel free of charge. Children under age 6 who occupy their own seat require a child fare ticket. Seats with oversized baggage space will not be available.
