When I came back from Osaka to Tokyo, I bought an interesting train ticket named "Adolescence 18." It is a kind of super discount ticket sold by JR (Japan Rail). With this ticket we can take any JR's trains except for express and super express trains as many times as we like in a day. It consists of five sections and we can use each section on five different days or use all of them at one time with our four friends. It costs only 11,500 yen (US$120), so each section comes to 2,300 yen! I came back from Osaka with one of the five sections of this ticket. It means that I could come back from Osaka to Tokyo just for 2,300 yen although it took more than eight hours. This ticket is a seasonal ticket and we can purchase it only in spring, summer and winter vacation seasons. Sure it is popular among young students, but mature people can use it while lots of people misunderstand that it is limited to under 18 students. I'm now wondering where to go with the rest four sections of my ticket.
18切符懐かしいな
よくお世話になりました
