How to find Twilight Express fares 2007/4/5 11:08
I know the fare for couchettes or private rooms, where do I find the base fare and seat fares for the Twilight Express, Sapporo to Osaka. Or is the couchette and private room the whole fare?

For the sleeper trains, the Japan Rail pass covers the basic fare only. You will need to pay both the limited express surcharge and the berth charge.

On this fare table, that means that you would need to pay for items "B" and "C":
