Can I take the Nozomi between Kyoto and Tokuyama with the Japan Rail Pass?

Yes, with the NOZOMI MIZUHO supplemental ticket. Without a supplement, take a Hikari: some services stop at Tokuyama, otherwise change at Shin-Osaka for a Sakura.

Do I need to change at Shin-Osaka to reach Tokuyama from Kyoto?

Not systematically. Some Nozomi trains departing from Kyoto stop at Tokuyama without a connection; otherwise, change at Shin-Osaka for a Sakura, Hikari, or Kodama train. Mizuho trains do not serve Tokuyama.

How long does the train journey from Kyoto to Tokuyama take?

The train journey from Kyoto to Tokuyama takes approximately 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours. It is a direct journey on the Nozomi Shinkansen. Some Sakura Shinkansen also serve this line, with a slightly longer travel time, around 2 hours 10 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes.

Which Shinkansen services stop at Tokuyama?

Tokuyama is served by the Hikari, the Kodama, some Sakura services and a few Nozomi. The Mizuho does not stop there.
