Japan Rail Pass - Regular Car VS Green Car
Posted: Mon August 30, 2004 03:51 PM UTC
Just when you thought it was safe to come back to Japan Forum, here I am again with another silly question! It's about time for us to buy our Japan Rail Passes, is there any difference in quality between Regular Car's vs. the Green Car's and is it worth the difference about $250.00 CND in price for the 21 rail pass? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

hell no it's not worth the difference! while the green car seats are a little more comfortable, the regular seats are totally fine. it's not like you're gonna get their any faster with the green car seats.

and the train car's not even green! well, except for that stripe down the middle...

Agreed, the "ordinary" class is indeed good enough.

The ordinary cars` seats are sooooo comfortable I can`t imagine it can get any better. Don`t waste your money, get the ordinary one.

Absolutely. I made the mistake of going "Green-sha" once. The car was basically empty. I discovered the action was in the BEVERAGE car -- speedometer, people socializing, etc. GO ORDINARY -- IT WOULD BE FIRST CLASS IN MOST PLACES!!
