Japan city to city: train times, fares and last trains

Search by city or station

Each route page answers one journey, such as Tokyo to Osaka: which train is fastest, what it costs with and without a seat reservation, how many trains run and when the first and last ones leave. Every number comes from JR Central's or JR West's own timetable and fare search for trains running on Wednesday 14 October 2026. Where the railway gives no number, we leave it out.

Riding the Nozomi with a Japan Rail Pass

The Japan Rail Pass covers the Hikari and Kodama. To ride the faster Nozomi or Mizuho, pass holders buy a special ticket for each journey. These are JR's prices for adults.

Price of the special ticket for Japan Rail Pass holders to ride the Nozomi or Mizuho, by section
Section	Special ticket
Tokyo – Nagoya	4,180 yen
Tokyo – Kyoto	4,960 yen
Tokyo – Shin-Osaka	4,960 yen
Tokyo – Hiroshima	6,500 yen
Tokyo – Hakata	8,140 yen
Shin-Osaka – Hiroshima	4,170 yen
Shin-Osaka – Hakata	4,960 yen
Kyoto – Hiroshima	4,170 yen

The same price applies to a reserved seat, a non-reserved seat and the Green Car. The ticket is valid for one day.

Large suitcases on the Shinkansen

On the Tokaido, Sanyo and Kyushu Shinkansen, the size of your bag decides whether you need a special seat.

Up to 160 cm: Overhead racks, no reservation needed
161 to 250 cm: Reserve a seat with an oversized baggage area when you buy the ticket
Over 250 cm: Cannot be taken on board
No reservation: A 1,000 yen fee if you board with an oversized bag without one

The size is the total of length, width and height.

Where the numbers come from

Times, fares and first and last trains come from JR Central's access search (Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen and JR Central's lines) and JR West's My Dia search, run for Wednesday 14 October 2026. Trains a day are counted from JR Central's station timetables for the same day. Reserved-seat fares are for an ordinary car; children aged 6 to 11 pay half of the basic fare and of the limited express charge.
