TOKAIDO-SANYO SHINKANSEN

Relaxing, high-quality interior that soothes the mind

Green Car (two rows of seats on each side)

Soft, body-friendly seats for tireless comfort even on long rides

Synchronized comfort seats with reclining feature

With the development of the synchronized comfort seat, the lumbar support stays the same throughout the reclining range thanks to a linked seating surface and backrest. By using a design that matches the body's natural movements for the backrest, these chairs have eliminated both discomfort from irregular posture as well as concerns about awkward positions. Also, because the seat's fulcrum has been placed near the front edge, the fulcrum's position remains steady, eliminating the need for passengers to squeeze their thighs when reclining. Finally, the cushions also employ a new composite spring structure, offering improved comfort seating for lengthy rides.

Revising the traditional single urethane layer structure, these new seats feature a wire-shaped metal spring structure (metal springs + plastic springs + urethane) that offer high surface stiffness while remaining lightweight. The cushions, offering not only depth but also a never-before-seen "firm elasticity," feel as if they have no base.

Reserved and non-reserved seats in Ordinary Cars (two rows of seats + 3 rows of seats)

Thanks to the soft interior lighting running down the center of Ordinary Cars and the gradation pattern inside the car, passengers can experience an airy, friendly atmosphere. The "bright and open cabin space" is a result of meticulously considered points including complex spring seat cushions modeled after Green Car seats as well as flat-panel ceiling illumination.
