Hello,

I’m planning on a trip with Kyoto as the base (I found a better deal Hotel in Kyoto rather in Osaka). My route will be: Kyoto - Kokura - Beppu - Hakata - Kyoto.

My question is, will the pass I chose cover the Tokaido Sanyo Shinkansen (Nozomi) from Kyoto to Kokura, as well as back to Kyoto from Hakata?

I’m not sure whether I interpret the coverage map correctly, but from what I’ve seen, the Sanyo Shinkansen seem to only cover from Shin-Osaka, and there is also the exception mentioning that the Tokaido Shinkansen from Kyoto - Shin Osaka is not covered.

I’ll be thankful if someone can help answer my questions. And I really hope that the pass does actually cover the trip from Kyoto to my designated stops. Thank you so much!

Hi there,

The pass will cover the Nozomi services both ways ! More info on the pass can be found here - there is a list of checkboxes telling you what is and isn't included in the pass.

Hope this helps!
