Rail Passes

I keep asking and someday, someone will tell...
What besides the price is the difference between a green pass and an ordinary pass? is it worth the price difference?
Thanks for your help

Hi Denice! Welcome to the wonderful time-sink that is LJ!

Assuming you're talking about JR rail passes, the green pass gets you into the spiffier cars on the long-distance trains without paying extra. This page has a reasonable explanation of it. You could probably get along fine without the green pass, I'm guessing.

Enjoy your trip to Japan! I was there for 9 days back in 2001, travelling around western Honshu with my best friend. I don't know if any of my travel experiences would be helpful to you, but feel free to ask.

Thank you. I just don't find that page clear enough. Will keep asking and hoping for info.

Hi Denice, I know nothing about the passes but its a delight to welcome you to LJ. I hope you don't mind that I've added you as a friend.

Welcome to LJ! I don't post often, but it's great to read and post when I do it.

Have you asked your question in any communities? Perhaps a large community like [livejournal.com profile] ljtravel? You'd need to join the community to be able to ask, but you can always leave the community later.
