青春18きっぷ
의미: The Seishun 18 Ticket — an unlimited local train pass valid during school holiday periods, beloved by budget travellers.
One of Japan's most iconic budget travel products, the 青春18きっぷ allows unlimited travel on JR local and rapid trains for 5 days (not necessarily consecutive) during spring, summer, and winter holiday periods. Despite the name suggesting it is for 18-year-olds, anyone of any age can use it. It has cultivated a dedicated subculture of slow train travellers who plan elaborate cross-country journeys using only local trains, deliberately avoiding Shinkansen.
