It does seem Japan has some sort of legal cap on surcharges but it is unclear how that would apply to a rtw.
Taxes are going to be the same, but the fuel surcharges out of Japan tend to be a lot less for whatever reason.
None of the pricing has changed Norway/Japan, but the Yen has appreciated, bring them into close parity.
