hi!
we're planning on purchasing the green car pass, but i just read...
Remarks:
-1 The JAPAN RAIL PASS is not valid for any seats, reserved (incl. Green Car) or non-reserved, on ”NOZOMI” and “MIZUHO” trains.
-2 There are no Green Cars on most “HIKARI” and “KODAMA” trains on the Sanyo Shinkansen line (Shin-Osaka―Hakata), or on some “SAKURA” and “TSUBAME” Series 800 trains on the Kyushu Shinkansen line.
-3 If you use a “DX Green” (operated by JR Kyushu),
you must pay the limited express charge in addition to the DX Green charge.
-4 If you use the GranClass car, only the basic fare is covered with your JAPAN RAIL PASS for both Green Car and Ordinary Cars and you must pay the limited express charge and the GranClass car surcharge additionally.
2 kind of confuses us. Will there be an advantage to buying a green jr rail pass?
