The bullet trains in Japan, are called 'SHINKANSEN'!!

Using My JR PASS. 'Shinkansen' is the fastest speed train in Japan, operated by JR. With running speeds up to 320 km/h (200 miles/h)! There are several kinds of Bullet Train/Shinkansen. The JR PASS cannot be used for travel on the NOZOMI and the MIZUHO Shinkansen, but can be used on all other Shinkansen. HIKARI, KODAMA, SAKURA, HAYABUSA, etc. Most of the Shinkansen have 3 kinds of train cars, Non- reserved seat car / reserved seat car / Green car (all reserved seat). The Green car is first class, just like on an airplane! If you have the ordinary pass, you can use the Non-reserved seat car and the Reserved seat car. Advance seat reservations are required to use a seat in the Reserved seat car. No additional fee is required. If you have a JR Green Pass, you can use the Green car. The advantage, obviously, is that you can enjoy the extra space and the much more comfortable seats.
