Do you like travelling by train? Staying in Japan for a few months want to explore without going bankrupt? We have just the solution for you! It\u2019s made from paper, it&#8217;s very small, green and its name is <strong>Seishun 18 Kippu<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#But\">How the Seishun 18 Kippu works<\/a><br><a href=\"#Okay\">Alternatives to save time<\/a><br><a href=\"#Alright\">Planning your routes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Seishun 18 Kippu<\/strong> (<span class=\"st\">\u9752\u662518\u304d\u3063\u3077<\/span>) is a discount ticket issued by the Japan Railway Group (JR). Therefore, it&#8217;s valid for all the JR network in Japan. With this ticket, you are allowed to travel on local and rapid trains for the modest sum of&nbsp;<span class=\"st\">\u00a5<\/span>2,370 per day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ticket has a validity for 5 days and they don\u2019t have to be consecutive with a final price of&nbsp;<span class=\"st\">\u00a5<\/span>11,850. One person can enjoy the <strong>Seishun 18 Kippu<\/strong> for five days or it can be split for use by up to five people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cotoacademy.com\/app\/uploads\/2016\/02\/14960296469_8d91d42e5a_o.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cotoacademy.com\/app\/uploads\/2016\/02\/14960296469_8d91d42e5a_o-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"14960296469_8d91d42e5a_o\" class=\"wp-image-3811\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Discover Japan by train!

The ticket is on sale only on three periods each year and is available in almost all JR stations around the country.<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>But this will take a life!<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it is true that traveling with local trains requires multiple changes. It is not as quick and convenient compared to the express trains or <a href=\"https:\/\/cotoacademy.com\/read-shinkansen-tickets-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shinkansen<\/a>. However, let\u2019s take a look at the next example. Let\u2019s say we want to go to Kyoto from Tokyo and we are ready to depart at 7:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Departure at 07:42 from Tokyo \u2192 Atami \u2192 Shimizu \u2192 Hamamatsu \u2192 Toyohashi \u2192 Ogaki \u2192 Maibara \u2192 Arrival to Kyoto at 16:12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This whole trip would normally cost&nbsp;more than <span class=\"st\">\u00a5<\/span>8,000 or <span class=\"st\">\u00a5<\/span>13,000 if you were to take the Shinkansen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"Okay\">owever, with the <strong>Seishun 18 Kippu<\/strong> you only pay <span class=\"st\">\u00a5<\/span>2,370 and you will be in Kyoto before dinner!<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Okay, that sounds cool, but then I will lose the day stuck on a train!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, guess what! Some overnight trains are also covered by the <strong>Seishun 18 Kippu<\/strong>. For instance, you can reserve a seat in the Moonlight Nagara (<span class=\"st\">\u30e0\u30fc\u30f3\u30e9\u30a4\u30c8\u306a\u304c\u3089<\/span>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a train that departs Tokyo to as far as Fukuoka by the end of the day. It also stops in famous cities like Kyoto, <a href=\"https:\/\/cotoacademy.com\/osaka-prefecture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Osaka<\/a> or Kobe! For example, if you take the Moonlight Nagara at 11 PM from Tokyo, you will arrive in Kyoto by 9 AM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"Alright\">This saves you on accommodation and starts your day early in a new city! Oh, and it&#8217;s important to point out that there are also available overnight trains to the northern part of Japan.<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Alright, you convinced me!
