Hi there,

Sept. 21, 2017 - TOKYO to HIROSHIMA

10:03 Departure Track 15, SHINKANSEN HIKARI 467
13:14 Arrive SHIN-KOBE
12:23 Depart SHIN-KOBE, SHINKANSEN SAKURA 557
13:36 Arrive HIROSHIMA on Track 12

The transfer in SHIN-KOBE does not tell you which track to transfer to.
Does that mean I will stay on the train ?
And HIKARI 467 becomes SAKURA 557 ?

Thank you, ERS27D ([email protected]

Hi there,

I don't know the track number but Shin-Kobe is quite small, there are only 2 platforms if I remember correctly and it won't be hard to find the correct platform and train. One for northbound trains and one for southbound trains. Since you are southbound, it will be the same platform as you arrive at.

There are also plenty of signs and displays, telling you what train will depart from here.
