JR Surcharge Tickets

In addition to the basic fare, a surcharge is required for travel on express trains, limited express trains and Shinkansen bullet trains. An additional surcharge is applied to seats in a "Green Car" (first class) or for overnight sleeping compartments. Unlike basic-fare tickets, surcharges are good only for one continuous ride. If your client wishes to break the journey, he/she must purchase separate surcharge tickets for each additional train taken. If, for example, your client wishes to travel from Kanazawa to Matsue, with a stopover in Tottori, he/she need purchase only one basic-fare ticket but must pay a separate surcharge for Kanazawa to Tottori and another surcharge from Tottori to Matsue.
