Reply To: Best accessibility Shinagawa or Tokyo station
Good morning.
In my experience, I think Shinagawa Station is better because it is easier to access the platform. Also, there is no big difference between Nozomi and Hikari for wheelchair users. Rather, the big difference is in “Nozomi”. “Nozomi” uses new trains and has a convenient wheelchair space. Regarding reservations, “EX” is operated by JR, so it is reliable. However, you have to become a member. The only other way to be sure is to make a reservation at the JR counter. I hope your trip is a wonderful one.
Lastly…I am very sorry that I stopped receiving replies to your emails.
