Shinkansen Bullet Train Journey

Train Experience

Travel between Japan’s cities on the shinkansen — part of the trip rather than just transport between it.

JPY 14170 adult reserved seat (Nozomi Tokyo-Kyoto one way)

Allow about 2 hr 13 min

Your expert’s note

For the classic Tokyo-Kyoto leg the Nozomi is the fastest service (about 2h13m) but isn't covered by the Japan Rail Pass - Hikari or Kodama services take roughly 22 minutes longer but qualify for pass holders.
