Hello there,

It is not possible to upgrade to Green Class. If you want to travel on Green Class using a normal class then you will have to pay the full Green Fare, the JR Pass will cover the normal charge.

For instance:
Tokyo - Kyoto: ¥ 18,690(Ticket Fare:¥ 8,210 Seat Fee:¥ 10,480). This means that you would have to pay the full Seat Fee if you where to travel in Green Class. In this case it would be better to just buy a JR Green Class Pass to start with.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
