Hi there,

The JR Pass would also cover the basic fare if you want to use a Green Car using a normal rail ticket.

For example Tokyo - Kyoto:
Basic Fare: ¥ 8,210
High speed fare: ¥ 5,700
Green Fare: ¥ 4,780

You'd pay both the High speed fare and Green Fare. This alone is the price of upgrading a 7 day JR to Green class and is the option I would suggest taking if you want to travel in Green Class.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
