在来線

What it means

JR's regular lines other than the Shinkansen. Local, rapid and limited express trains run on them.

Watch for

Local and rapid trains on these lines usually need only a basic fare ticket. Limited express trains need a limited express ticket too, as the Shinkansen does. Shinkansen and conventional-line limited express charges are separate.
