	Nozomi (Shinkansen) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inaugurated on March 14, 1992, Nozomi is the fastest train service running on the Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen.
		On the Tokaido Shinkansen, Nozomi trains stop at Tokyo Station, Shinagawa Station, Shin-Yokohama Station, Nagoya Station, Kyoto Station, and Shin-Osaka Station.
		The Nozomi is the only JR train service not covered by the Japan Rail Pass.

		The Shinkansen (新幹線) is a network of high speed rail lines in Japan, upon which the famous "Bullet Trains" run.
		The prefix 'shin' means 'new' in Japanese and is used to distinguish the railway station serving Shinkansen trains in towns where it is in a different location to the regular station, as in Shin-Osaka station.
		Shinkansen trains now run regularly at speeds of up to 300 km/h (185 mph), putting them among the fastest trains running in the world, along with the French TGV and German ICE trains.

	Tokaido Shinkansen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Tōkaidō Shinkansen (東海道新幹線) is the original Shinkansen line that opened in 1964 between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka.
		The Tokaido Shinkansen line was originally conceptualized in 1940 as a 150 km/h dedicated railway between Tokyo and Shimonoseki, which would have been 50% faster than the fastest express train of the time.
		The beginning of World War II stalled the project in its early planning stages, although a few tunnels were dug that were later used in the Shinkansen route.

		When two Shinkansens pass one another, there is a physical and audible jolt as the cars are pushed away from each other.
		This is the third-oldest Shinkansen model, after the Series 200 model on the lines north of Tokyo and the original Series 0.
		The Shinkansen station is actually called Shin-Osaka (New Osaka), because it was built new for the Shinkansen, rather than as an add on to the existing train station.

	Shinkansen (Japanese Bullet Train)
		The nozomi is one of the very few trains on the JR network that cannot be used with the Japan Rail Pass.
		The southern half of the Kyushu Shinkansen, connecting Yatsushiro with Kagoshima, was inaugurated in March 2004.
		Currently under construction are the further extension of the Tohoku Shinkansen to Aomori and the extension of the Nagano Shinkansen to Kanazawa.

		With the "Nozomi" 300-series, thick beams have been eliminated and a new structure, in which the structural strength is sustained by the structure made of thin structural members, has been introduced reducing the body weight to 6.0tons.
		The large extruded plates (with a thickness of 2.2mm, width of 600mm and height of 15-25mm and the same length of 24.5m as that of the car body) are shaped with longitudinal structural members installed at a spacing of 80-100mm.
		When the Shinkansen construction project was launched, however, the internationally prevailing consensus was that railway transportation was destined to tread the path of gradual demise.

	Railway Technology - Shinkansen High Speed 'Bullet Train' operated by JR Central, Japan
		Shinkansen run largely on conventional steel rail mounted on concrete sleepers, but the fastest services use dedicated tracks to avoid conflict with slower trains.
		Shinkansen trains run on two different gauges - 1,067mm and 1,435mm - which precludes each part of the system from using the other's trains.
		The next candidate is the 59km of the Nagano Shinkansen from Nagano to Joetsu, with plans existing to eventually extend this to Komatsu via Toyama and Kanazawa.

		`Nozomi' (meaning hope), the fastest, stops only at major stations; `Hikari' (light), which is a limited stop service; and `Kodama' (echo), which stops at almost all stations.
		The technological challenges in the Shinkansen are so vast that most train parameters are exponentially proportional to the train speed.
		The Nozomi 500 series is considered the fastest of all Shinkansens.

	Routes and Services
		The Sanyo Shinkansen was opened as far as Okayama in March 1972, and the entire 554 km from Shin-Osaka to Hakata (Fukuoka) was opened in January 1975 with the completion of the 18.7 km Shin-Kanmon Tunnel linking Honshu (Japan's main island) to Kyushu.
		This was the name for the former all-stations shinkansen services between Tokyo and Niigata, which was discontinued in October 1997 when services were integrated with Asahi and the new Tanigawa services.
		This was the name given to the limeted-stop Joetsu Shinkansen services, which were renamed from 1 December 2002 to eliminate possible confusion with the Nagano Shinkansen Asama services.

	Nozomi Shinkansen
		The Nozomi is the super fast one and no, with a JR Rail pass you can't ride it.
		I found the Shinkansen FAR MORE enjoyable (leaving it at that) where the conductor and the attendant who brought me a wash-up towel and the young lady who seved from the trolley ALL bowed to the passengers before the left the carriage..
		While Nozomi, Hikari, and Kodama are the 3 categories of trains on the Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka, the actual trainsets (300/500/700) assigned to each vary.

		Among the most luxurious Shinkansen trains are the Grand Hikari, a double-decker train that travels between Tokyo and Kyushu, and the Twilight Express, a luxury hotel on wheels that runs from Osaka to Sapporo.
		Shinkansen running along these lines offer two kinds of service -- trains that stop only at major cities (Nozomi and Hikari trains) and trains that make more stops and are therefore slightly slower (Kodoma).
		Travel is restricted to JR rapid and local trains (that is, Shinkansen and limited express trains are not included in the pass) and unreserved seating.

	700 Series Shinkansen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 700 Series Shinkansen trainsets for Japan's Shinkansen dedicated high-speed rail lines were built between 1997 and 2004, entering service in 1999.
		The design goal was to produce a train almost as fast as the 500 Series Shinkansen but at a substantially lower cost.
		This goal was met, and 83 trains have been built and are in service.

		The Shinkansen are bullet trains, averaging somewhere between 200 and 250 km/h, connecting Tokyo and Kyoto, for instance, in about three hours.
		Like all JR trains, the Shinkansen have snack and gift carts, and extremely clean restrooms with separate wash rooms; unique to the Shinkansen are in-train telephones.
		Each Shinkansen has its own name; for instance, between Tokyo and Hachinohe we took the Shinkansen Hayate (in English, “Whirlwind”), which is a pretty neat name for a bullet train.

		The new type Shinkansen trains "Nozomi 500 Series" of the Tokaido and San'yo Shinkansen Lines developed by JR West Japan were put into commercial operation between Shin-Osaka and Hakata in spring 1997 after a series of test runs conducted at midnight.
		The point which produces the largest noise during the running of a Shinkansen train is the pantograph requiring a large volume for putting high-tension lines in contact from below.
		On the "Nozomi 500 Series", this large spring type pantograph has been changed to an air system pushing up the pantograph with air cylinder of a volume several times smaller compared with the conventional type.

	Nozomi Shinkansen :: South East Asia :: March -- June '95
		The unevenness of the Japanese countryside (81% of the land surface too steep and unstable to build on) means that in order to keep the track strait and flat there are going to be lots of tunnels.
		On the Shinkansen, and even the local commuter rails, the distance between faces is too great to discern features, or even whether the expression is happy or glum.
		It doesn't matter much, the bullet is so quick there's no possibility for that momentary eye contact, the fleeting contact of individuals that you often experience on the slow trains that causes you to wonder as the face recedes in the distance what the life of the owner is like.

	Need to reserve 1 month ahead shinkansen seating - Japan Forum
		According to the JR information I have under my nose at the moment, seat reservation (not strictly restricted to Shinkansen) can be made up to a month in advance and as late as two days in advance between 11:00 and 22:00.
		Shinkansen definitely have free seating except, as I said, Nozomi (which the rail pass doesn't cover anyway).
		I believe however that there is another Shinkansen service which follows the same route as Nozomi but is something like an hour slower.

		The Shinkansen is a system of high-speed trains that serves as the heart of Japan's rail transportation.
		In the almost 40 years since it opened, the Shinkansen network has carried over 6 billion passengers without a single serious accident.
		The Shinkansen network can boast not only of its high speed, the fastest at 300 kilometers per hour, but also of its frequency.

		Services range from the Shinkansen Super Express or ‘Bullet Train’, which connects popular destinations throughout Japan, to local rail systems for travel in and around major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, including convenient rail transfers to Narita Airport (Tokyo) and Kansai International Airport (Osaka).
		The fastest is the ‘Nozomi’, which travels at speeds of up to 270 km (168 miles) per hour.
		Travel on Super Express (Shinkansen), Limited Express and Express trains, requires payment of a basic fare plus a surcharge, the cost of which varies according to which service you are using and the season of travel.

		NAGOYA -- A person died after apparently being hit by two speeding Shinkansen trains and a normal train on Monday morning, police said.
		A Nozomi bullet train heading for Tokyo came to an emergency stop near a tunnel between Mikawaanjo and Toyohashi stations on the Tokaido Shinkansen line at about 9:20 a.m., after operators heard strange sounds.
		The driver of another Nozomi train on its way to Osaka also heard peculiar sounds near the same tunnel when it passed the section in Gamagori, Aichi Prefecture, two minutes earlier.

	JR Rail Pass and Nozomi
		Nozomi Shinkansen trains have always been off-limits to JR Rail Pass holders.
		My understanding is that JR just completely overhauled the scheduling on the Tokaido Shinkansen, nominally upgrading many Hikari trains to Nozomi status (not particularly difficult, since most Hikaris have used the same 700 Series trainsets as most Nozomis for a few years now).
		I was told today by my local JTB that Nozomis were still off-limits to JR Rail Pass holders, and that they had not heard of any plans for an update.
