To Thymery – your best bet is the JR Rail Pass, not the Puratto Kodama. You can get a faster train (Hikari) and it’s only for those who live outside of Japan (meaning you cannot buy it in Japan). http://www.japanrailpass.net/eng/en001.html

My question: These are the fairs for one-way tickets, right?

I am from Singapore and plan to visit Tokyo on 16 Dec. I was looking for a cheap and fast train ticket from Tokyo To Kyoto or Osaka. So, how should I go about getting this Puratto Kodama ticket? Where can I check the timetable of the train service? I can’t read Japanese.

When you say ‘You can’t buy same-day tickets.’ do you mean I can’t get tickets that go up and return on the same day? Or you mean the first leg cannot be on the same day?

Happy New Year! please help me find a cheaper ticket from Osaka going to Niigata. I will be in Osaka by last week of March 2011. I will appreciate if you can give me suggestions. Thank you so much.

So I can grab a train from Osaka to Tokyo for about $130… that’s like $70 cheaper. $30 if you count I have to get to Osaka, but that’s still a pretty sweet deal.
