This is my experience on JR's Supreme Class Cabin Train Seat. Tickets range from $300 all the way to $500 depending on where you ride from and to on the Tokaido Line. The longest trip is between Tokyo and Hiroshima. I rode the private luxury cabin with two seats, 1 that fully reclines and the other which is like a sofa seat. It was pretty cool experience.
