About the Shinkansen Tour
Why use the Shinkansen Tour? It's simple! Although specific departure times and seat reservations cannot be designated, for people visiting both Tokyo and Kyoto the Shinkansen Tour lets you simplify your reservations AND save you money on both train fare and hotel! Plus, you’ll find plenty of options to fit your travel plans exactly. Compared with the Japan Rail Pass, which can only be reserved in multiples of 7 days, the Shinkansen Tour has daytrips and short 2-3 day options, giving you more choices and more value!
Package options range from same-day return trips to 6-day stays. You can also choose to ride on either the Nozomi or Hikari trains, with Nozomi service making the trip around 30 minutes quicker. One-way tickets are also available. For stays longer than 6 days, please contact JAPANiCAN Customer Support for special arrangement possibilities.
Tour reservations can be made until 8 days before the day of departure. Accommodation options begin with standard-class hotels, and high-class hotels and ryokan (Japanese style inns) are also available, with 10 choices in total. Single bookings are possible for hotels, but require a Single Supplement charge.
Train tickets, itinerary, map to hotel, and more are included in the welcome kit provided to all Shinkansen Tour participants. You’ll receive your welcome kit on the day before your package begins, mailed to your hotel or residence in Tokyo.
