I visit a web site that has the train timetables for Japan in English:
http://grace.hyperdia.com/cgi-english/hyperd01.cgi

when you check any trip, the cost comes up this way:
Total amount of money: ¥1320 (fare ¥690 charge ¥630)

what is "fare" and what is "charge"?
I assume the cost of the trip is Y1320 but am not sure.
