1:A KLASS PÅ SHINKANSEN FRÅN OKTOBER
"Supreme Class" to be introduced on the Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen, Japan's most used bullet train route linking Tokyo with Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima and Fukuoka.
Although expected to be offered mainly on Nozomi trains, the fastest service category, the new class will also be available on some Hikari and Kodama services.
Each train offering Supreme Class will feature two private cabins: a double room for up to two passengers in car 7 and a single-passenger cabin in car 10.
The new cabins will have a big reclining seat with table, lockable door, luggage space and other services, while the double room will also include a sofa-style secondary seat.
