“Plat Kodama” is a convenient plan that allows you to take the Shinkansen(bullet train) at a discount. However, since it is a very cheap ticket, it comes with severe restrictions.<\/p>\n

One of them is that refunds for “missing” are not possible.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

You may think you can’t miss it, but you can be late for a meeting or make a mistake at the station.<\/p>\n

According to regulations, refunds for “missing” are not possible, but in fact some refunds are possible.<\/p>\n

I actually missed it, but I was planning to go to my destination (Hiroshima) and planned to buy another Shinkansen ticket, but it cost a little extra.<\/p>\n

Some refunds are possible, so I’ll introduce them.<\/p>\n

It’s okay if you miss the “Plat-Kodama”discount ticket of bullet train! Partly refundable!<\/h2>\n\"\"\n

Why is it refundable even though the Plat-Kodama rules specify “non-refundable”?<\/p>\n

If you think about what the “Plat Kodama” plan is discounting, you can understand.<\/p>\n

Did you know that Shinkansen tickets consist of two tickets? They are “ticket” and “express ticket”.<\/p>\n

A ticket is necessary for you to travel a certain section, regardless of the type of train, and the fare is fixed. (So-called basic fee)<\/p>\n

As an option, pay extra if you want to go fast! That is the express ticket. (So-called option fee)<\/p>\n

Discounts on the “Platto Kodama” plan are applied to this express fare. (This is writen it in red on the ticket)<\/p>\n

You will understand. In other words, the non-refundable policy applies only to express tickets covered by the “Platto Kodama” plan.<\/p>\n

The ticket does not matter. In other words, the fare for the ticket can be refunded.<\/p>\n

For example, the regular fare for traveling from Shin-Osaka to Hiroshima on the Shinkansen is 9710 yen, the breakdown of which is 5620 yen for a ticket and 4090 yen for an express ticket.<\/p>\n

In the “Platto Kodama” plan, the total of the ticket + limited express ticket is 6700 yen, and the limited fare is 6700-5620 yen = 1080 yen because the discount is not applied to the ticket.<\/p>\n

If it is within the validity period, a refund fee of 220 yen will be charged, but a total loss of 1300 yen will be enough.<\/p>\n

In addition, you can change only the express ticket without changing the ticket. In this case, a refund fee is not required, so the loss is 1080 yen.<\/p>\n

How did you lose the ticket? There are ways to help even the strict rules of a cheap plan.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Even with cheap plans other than the “Plat Kodama” plan, there are many ways to get a refund if you scratch your feet, so let’s contact the station staff and the person in charge without giving up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
