弾丸
Significado: Bullet — used as a prefix for extremely fast, short-duration trips (弾丸旅行, 弾丸ツアー), implying speed over comfort.
Literally meaning 'bullet,' 弾丸 is used as a modifier to describe lightning-fast trips — often overnight or same-day trips to distant destinations. A 弾丸旅行 might mean flying to Korea for one night or taking the last Shinkansen to Osaka and the first one back. It implies determined, almost reckless speed. Popular among fans traveling for concerts or events, and budget travelers maximising limited time off.
