All cars are no smoking. Before and during World War II, "Hikari" was the name of an express train operated by Japan from Busan in Korea to Changchun in Manchuria. The name "Hikari" was first introduced in Japan on 25 April 1958 for express services operating between Hakata and Beppu in Kyushu. This service operated until 30 September 1964, the day before the Tokaido Shinkansen opened. When the Tokaido Shinkansen opened on 1 October 1964, the "Hikari" was the fastest train on the line, initially travelling from Tokyo Station to Shin-Osaka Station with only two stops (Nagoya and Kyoto). "Hikari" service was extended to the Sanyo Shinkansen later, although the "Hikari" trains were only slightly faster than the "Kodama" trains, earning them the derisive nickname "Hidama." In March 2008, the new N700 Series Shinkansen was put into service on a morning "Hikari" service between Shin-Yokohama and Hiroshima stations, and a late night run between Tokyo and Nagoya. A third N700 "Hikari" run between Nagoya and Tokyo was added in October 2008, and a few other N700 "Hikari" runs have since been added. From the start of the revised timetable on 17 March 2012, "Hikari Rail Star" services using 700 series 8-car E sets became entirely no-smoking. As of 2012, JR Central "Hikari" services operating throughout the Tokaido/Sanyo corridor primarily use 16-car N700 series and 700 series trains. Most "Hikari" trains pull over at intermediate stations such as Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, Toyohashi, Maibara or Himeji to allow faster services, mainly "Nozomi" trains, to pass at top speed.
