Transfer at Nagoya station

we have to change trains at Nagoya station.
Travelling from Odawara on KOODAMA 719 (arrive 13.37 )we have to change to NOZOMI 357 (depart 13.47 ) Can any tell me which tracks these trains arrive and depart from and if 10 minuites is ample for elderly passengers to make the transfer

Nagoya Station has just one platform for each direction. So, transfers will be very easy. You just get out and wait on the same platform for your next train. The only thing to do is to comfirm on which side of the platform your next train will arrive (easily done through the many bilingual displays) and walk to the position of your car (also shown on bilingual displays).

In your specific case, the Kodama will arrive on track 17 and the Nozomi will leave from platform 16, which - again - is on the same platform, opposite side.

Thanks very much for your information. Being elderly with limited mobility this is great news.

Yes, ten minutes would be enough, as long as you get prepared well.
: Leave your KODAMA seat, look at your NOZOMI ticket, confirm the car number, etc.

Being elderly with limited mobility this is great news.

Each train consists of 16 cars.
You have to walk long, for example,
from Car No. 16 of KODAMA to Car No. 4 of NOZOMI.

When you reserve your seats,
you can choose cars which are close to each other.
