when you have JR Pass you can ride shinkansen as much as you want excluding “Nozomi” while it is effective. It would be quite fun to take different series(types) of Shinkansen which are developed for regional geography and climate of that region or area.
For example, about a pic below, the lights of the right side of shinkansen are red, means it goes toward ‘Kudari‘(going away from Tokyo) and the left side shinkansen with yellow lights on goes toward Tokyo.
