I'm planning to travel from osaka to tokyo and I was looking at the cost for the hikari and nozomi. Iknow it's about 20mins apart.
But I noticed the cost was the same. I thought Nozomi would be more expensive.

Is Hikari and nozomi the same ticket cost?

The cost is the same if travelling by unreserved seat. If you use a reserved seat the Nozomi is an additional 300 yen more expensive.
