Hokuriku Shinkansen

Reviewed By VinnieLondon_SE2 - Doha, Qatar

The trains and rail network in Japan are truly superb. The trains are all spotlessly clean and maintained, never late and great value compared to Europe. Always advisable to reserve a seat on the main Shinkansen routes. Green class carriages are really comfortable. Trolley service selling drinks and snacks on all Shinkansen trains and again immaculate restrooms. The trains unlike Europe have smoking rooms on the Shinkansens!. The Japan Rail passes are unbelievable value..don’t travel in Japan without one ...will save you a great deal of money on standard fares. Even the Green (first class pass) was only around $360 for 7 days. To note that the JR passes are not valid on the super fast/express trains (Nozomi and Mizuho trains). In some cities you also get free bus services using the pass (in Kanazawa JR buses have a loop route all around the key city sights free with the JR pass for example).
