No. When it comes to Gran Class (luxury class) only the basic fare is covered by your Japan Rail Pass, so if you'd like to use the Gran Class car of the Tohoku Shinkansen, Hokkaido Shinkansen, Joetsu Shinkansen and Hokuriku Shinkansen, you will have to pay the limited express charge plus the GranClass car surcharge.

It is not something that you can pre-book, so you must enquire directly at the JR ticket office (Midori no Madoguchi).
