Odoriko Superview

Does this train have a smoking compartment or booth on it?
Thanks.

No, smoking is not possible, at all, on Odoriko trains. The only trains in Japan you can smoke on these days are selected trains along the Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen.

Thanks for the reply, Uji.
I always thought that there was a smoking compartment on all Shinkansen trains. That's an eye opener for me.
I guess it's only a matter of time when there is no smoking on all Shinkansen.
I guess I better make sure that there are smoking compartments on the Shinkansen for my next trip. Lol.

I suggest you quit smoking. I quit cold turkey in 1985. That's the only way. It's called will power. :)

All trains along the Tokaido Shinkansen (Tokyo-Osaka) have either smoking booths or smoking cars. And selected trains along the Sanyo and Kyushu Shinkansen (Osaka - Fukuoka - Kagoshima) have smoking rooms or cars (most Nozomi, Hikari, Sakura and Mizuho trains).

Thanks for the clarification, Uji. I had thought that the smoking cars were a thing of the past and had been replaced by smoking booths.
