- lmm 3y agoThey have a tiny number of those 50% discounts that are always sold out even if you apply as soon as ticket sales open, IME. And note that even then they're only on the less popular lines - you'll never see a discount like that for Tokyo-Kyoto.
- resolutebat 3y agoPuratto Kodama is available basically always (for slower Kodama trains only, of course) and around a third cheaper at Y9,800 for Tokyo-Kyoto. https://nihonshock.com/2010/02/puratto-kodama-cheap-shinkansen-tickets/ https://nihonshock.com/2010/02/puratto-kodama-cheap-shinkans...
