鈍行
의미: A local/slow train that stops at every station — the opposite of an express.
Informal word for a train that stops at every single station along its route (formally called 普通列車 or 各駅停車). 鈍行 carries a slightly nostalgic, unhurried feel — it is the mode of travel for 青春18きっぷ users and those who enjoy slow, scenic journeys. While it can imply frustration at slow speed, it often evokes romantic notions of leisurely travel through the Japanese countryside.
