I loved the Spanish AVE but I think all high speed rail should slow down near the scenic spots.

How much would the fare be on a train so luxurious
-
It depends on how far you go, but if you ride the entire length of the train's route, it'll cost $30.74 (3270 yen = 1820 base fare + 1450 seat reservation, since all seats on this train need to be reserved)
-
If you have a JR Rail Pass (only available for tourists) then it's free (you still need to make a reservation and get a ticket, but you won't have to pay anything to do so)
-
Btw, the full distance is roughly 56 miles--if you were to ride the same distance on a conventional train (pictured), you would only pay the base fare of 1820 yen ($17.09)pic.twitter.com/33DoKnW5ld

It takes just under 2 hours on local trains (and you need to change trains once), and it takes just under 1 hour 40 minutes on the tourist train (direct route)
