What are the Differences between Ordinary and Green?

Reserved seats are available in both classes on long-distance trains. Green Cars are reserved only, while Ordinary class has both reserved and non-reserved cars. With Japan Rail Pass reserved seats are available without charge in the appropriate class.

Green Cars do offer wider seats, more leg room and more luggage space, but the difference in comfort is not as extreme as with many airlines. Green Cars may have small amenities like tea or hot towel service but there are no special meals served. In general, passengers with Ordinary class will not find significant differences.

Some trains, such as the Railstar service between Osaka and Hakata, or the new Kyushu Shinkansen offer only Ordinary seating which is somewhat roomier than the usual Ordinary seats.

To upgrade from Ordinary to Green on individual trains when using a Japan Rail Pass the passengers are required to pay the Green Surcharge and the Express Surcharge.

 
Freedom and Convenience for Your Trip!
All Aboard! Japan Rail Pass has unlimited ride on all JR lines, including all bullet trains except Nozomi, and affiliated buses and ferries. There are no hassles to purchase train tickets just show your Japan Rail Pass upon boarding and you are set to go!
