What Makes the Green Car Experience Special

The moment you flash your Green Car pass, station staff bow deeper. Platform attendants guide you to premium waiting areas. You’re not just traveling—you’re being treated like royalty.

- All Shinkansen bullet trains (except Nozomi and Mizuho)
- JR local and express trains nationwide
