And a new fare for reserved seats in green carriages has been newly established.
The set-up period is from July 1 to March 31, 2027, with sales from June 1 to March 31, 2027.
However, with the renewal, prices have been raised, with regular car fares from 3,700 yen to 4,300 yen for adults and from 1,850 yen to 2,150 yen for children.
