Accommodation

Limited Express Inaji is operated by JR Central (JR Tokai) 373 series. This train is designed for general purpose. So the quality is a bit lower than the standard of limited express train fleets. There is no Green car and no walls and doors between between passenger’s cabin and exit deck either. So I don’t recommend you to reserve a seat near the exit.
