Shin-Fuji is a station the Nozomi passes through without an official timetable, so the times shown are estimates based on standard running times. They vary by a few minutes with the train and any delays. Covers some direct Nozomi between Hakata/Hiroshima and Tokyo under the 14 March 2026 timetable. Times change with each timetable revision.
