These are regular-season prices: JR Central says the price differs by season (off-peak, regular, peak and busiest peak), so in a peak period these three fares, and the total below, can be lower than what you will pay. Nozomi has no non-reserved cars. This calculator uses the adult fares only. Both fare tables also list child fares; enter children's tickets as your own amount.",
