JR West and JR Kyushu said about 40% of reserved seats on Shinkansen services have already been booked for the year-end and New Year holiday period. JR West expects the busiest outbound travel day on the Sanyo Shinkansen to be December 27, with return travel peaking on January 3. Of roughly 2.78 million reserved seats, around four in ten are already taken. During the holiday period, all Nozomi services on the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines will operate with reserved seating only. Source: JR Kyushu / JR West
