🟦 2024 Updated Shinkansen Ticket Guide: https://youtu.be/E7KA5P6hawQ
🚩There is no, non-reserved cars on Nozomi during Golden Week 2024. It will be all reserved seats.
When you travel from Tokyo to Kyoto and Osaka, you might see reserved seats and non-reserved seats. Its common to guarantee seats with a few dollars extra, but there are some merit of using non-reserved seats too. I'd like to see how non-reserved seats (JIYUSEKI) works, and what to know to increase the possility of getting a seat.
* Among Shinkansen to north from Tokyo, Kagayaki, Hayabusa, Komachi, Tsubasa are for reservation only.
