What is the Difference Between the Ordinary Car and the Green Car?
For a more efficient, cheaper, and easier trip, the Ordinary Car offers great value. With the Ordinary Car, you don’t have to reserve seats before boarding, making transfers between trains much easier. However, since passengers don’t need to reserve seats in advance, the Ordinary Car can be more crowded than the Green Car.
Travel comfortably on Ordinary cars with 2+3 or 2+2 seating layouts
Meanwhile, if you want more comfort and more space on the train, the Green Car is the right choice. Marked with a green clover symbol, Green Cars offer more spacious seating and bigger legroom for a comfortable journey. They are usually less crowded than Ordinary Cars because all seats must be reserved before boarding. You can make seat reservations at the JR ticket office, but only after you have redeemed your JR Pass.
