Traveling by bullet train in Japan is one of the most efficient and convenient ways to get around. The Shinkansen, known for its speed and reliability, allows passengers to reach their destinations quickly while enjoying a smooth and comfortable ride.
Ticket Options
• Standard Car
• Green Car
Green Cars offer a little more comfort than standard cars and are the equivalent of first class travel in Japan. They have the convenience of extra luggage space, a benefit not available in standard cars. Usually marked with a four-leaf clover, Green Cars are easy to spot. The design of Green Cars focuses on providing privacy and a quiet atmosphere. This makes them ideal for passengers who want to work, read or simply enjoy a peaceful journey.
