What Is Included

The morning service provides one individually packaged Fujisan Shokupan item per eligible passenger, plus refillable coffee, tea, green tea, apple juice, orange juice, and other drinks. An attendant’s guide and the Car 1 commemorative stamp are also included.

Only passengers who reserve the special Car 1 on Train No. 12 qualify. The operator says passengers using another packaged plan, including the sweets plan, are not eligible for this morning offer.

Fare And Tokyo-Bound Connection

The operator gives JPY 2,570 as a reference total for the required basic fare, limited-express surcharge, and special-car surcharge. The bread service itself does not add another fee.

Train No. 12 is scheduled to reach Otsuki at 10:16 AM, seven minutes before the 10:23 AM Limited Express Kaiji departure toward Tokyo. Keep your onward ticket ready and follow station signs promptly because the connection is short.
