Confused about train prices

Hi there,

In Hyperdia always look at the Total, the other prices like fares Fare/Seat Fee explain what the prices consists off but to keep things simple, always look at the total. This is the price you would pay for making the trip.

Going into it a little deeper.

The Fare is the price for the distance travelled, local trains only have this.

The Seat Fee is the price paid for high speed and comfortable travel. Limited express train and Shinkansen all have this.

Lastly, you will see a Seat Fee on the right side. This can change a little if you take a reserved or non reserved seat, or a Green seat (1st class) seat.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
