Sakura Shinkansen

We then traveled back from Hiroshima to Osaka. We took a reserved Sakura Shinkansen in the Green Car (series N700). The seating was nicer. We reserved the trip back early because of our concern with seat availability heading out. The seating was very limited. But we probably would have liked more time in Hiroshima.

Sakura Shinkansen

We took the Sakura Shinkansen from JR Shin-Osaka Station to JR Hiroshima Station. These trains were very busy. We could not get a Green Car reservation for the Sakura Shinkansen but we were able to get a Reserved Ordinary Class (series N700). The Reserved Ordinary Class in the Sakura Shinkansen is similar to a Green Car but is not quite as fancy.
