1. Basic information about the Tohoku Shinkansen Green Car

The Tohoku Shinkansen Green Car is a seat class provided on trains such as "Yamabiko," "Hayabusa," and "Nasuno," where you can enjoy more comfortable seats and a higher-quality space than in ordinary cars.

• Seat layout: 2-2 (Ordinary cars are 3-2)
• Number of seats: Fewer and quieter (depending on the train car, about 30 seats per car)
• Fare: Ordinary reserved seat + around 5,000 yen

Especially for long-distance travel (Tokyo to Morioka, Shin-Aomori, etc.), you can fully feel the value of this Green Car.

2. Benefits and comfort points unique to the Green Car

① Spacious and comfortable seats! Fatigue-free travel

The biggest charm of the Green Car is the "comfort of the seats."
Compared to ordinary cars, there are the following differences:

Comparison item Ordinary car → Green car
Seat width: approx. 45cm → approx. 52cm
Seat pitch: approx. 98cm → approx. 116cm
Reclining: Standard → Can recline deeper
Footrest: None → Available

The Green Car also comes with a leg rest (footrest), allowing you to stretch your legs out properly, making long-distance travel comfortable.
Furthermore, the armrests are wide, so there is no worry about bumping into the person next to you.

② Quiet and calm space! Perfect for relaxing or working

The Green Car is characterized by having fewer passengers and being quiet.
On Shinkansen trains where all seats are reserved, such as the "Hayabusa," there is a certain level of comfort even in regular ordinary cars, but the Green Car is an even quieter and calmer space.
