Prices are for 2nd class reserved seats with departures in mid-morning. In Japan, travel times and costs are for the Hikari or Komachi trains, which are available on the Japan Rail pass, not the faster Nozomi trains, which are not available using the Japan Rail Pass. Mph and $/mile are calculated using the direct, straight line distances, not the actual railroad miles. Currency exchange rates as of 8/12/07, $1 USD = 5.43 DKK, 5.82 NOK, 6.76 SEK, 118 yen. A Japan Rail or Scanrail Pass would save money if you plan extensive traveling. There are additional reservation fees with a Scanrail pass but not with a Japan Rail Pass. |
