Mizuho Classes Explained
Mizuho Shinkansen trains use Ordinary Car and Green Car seating. Ordinary Car is the standard Shinkansen class, with rows of reclining seats and both reserved and non-reserved sections depending on the train formation. Reserved Ordinary seats give a specific carriage and seat number, while non-reserved seats are taken from the applicable cars on a first-come basis. Green Car is the higher class on Mizuho, with wider seating, more space, and a calmer cabin. Gran Class is not used on Mizuho services. To compare available Ordinary Car and Green Car options, use the search inputs at the top of the page.

Most Popular Mizuho Bullet Train Routes
Key Mizuho routes in Japan
Mizuho is most used for long-distance travel between Shin-Osaka and Kyushu. Popular routes include Shin-Osaka to Hakata, Shin-Osaka to Kumamoto, and Shin-Osaka to Kagoshima-Chuo, with stops such as Shin-Kobe, Okayama, Hiroshima, and Kokura on selected departures. Hakata to Kagoshima-Chuo is another important section on the Kyushu Shinkansen, linking Fukuoka with Kumamoto and southern Kyushu. Mizuho trains stop less often than Sakura, so they are suited to major-station travel rather than smaller intermediate stops. Timetables and stopping patterns vary by date, train number, and direction.
