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

Yes, with the additional NOZOMI MIZUHO ticket. Without an extra charge, Hikari and Sakura trains stop at Tokuyama and are covered by the pass; you would then need to transfer at Shin-Osaka to reach Kyoto.

The train journey from Tokuyama to Kyoto typically takes between 2 hours and 2 hours 10 minutes. The Nozomi Shinkansen provides the fastest connection, often without transfers. Some routes may include a transfer at Shin-Osaka.

How many trains per day stop at Tokuyama from Kyoto?

One to two trains per hour stop at Tokuyama, totaling about thirty per day. Not all of them depart from Kyoto without a transfer: Hikari and Kodama trains provide most of the service, and some Nozomi trains stop there. Sakura trains, however, depart from Shin-Osaka and not Kyoto.

Which Shinkansen stop at Tokuyama?

Upon arrival in Himeji, the majestic castle, nicknamed the "White Heron Castle," reveals itself impressively — look for it directly from the station platform. It is one of the rare Japanese castles to have preserved its original architecture, having withstood wars and earthquakes without major damage.
