Starting October 1, the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen will introduce the Supreme Class, a new top-tier service offering fully private compartments above the Green Car service level. Passengers can experience the new seating at a demonstration booth at Shin-Osaka Station. The enclosed compartment can accommodate up to two passengers and features a tablet-controlled adjustable seat for maximum comfort.
The compartments are designed to provide a private space for resting or spending time during the journey. The return of private compartments, first introduced on the Shinkansen in 1985, will mark the first such service in 23 years.
