Travel in Niigata: Echigo One and Two-Day Passes

I recently learned some interesting new ways to travel in Niigata. Not only is there the JR East Nagano, Niigata area pass that also includes Nagano and Tokyo as well, but there is also the Echigo One-Day Pass and Echigo Two-Day Pass. These two passes both have more limitations than the JR East Niigata area pass, but they’re also much cheaper, making them worth it if you just need a couple of days of unlimited local train rides. It’s nice to know there are so many options for getting around Niigata!

The Echigo One-Day Pass (えちごワンデーパス) can be purchased any day of the year for a full day of use. You can buy it at the ticket machines or the window for 1,570 yen, which is certainly worth it if you’re planning on taking even one or two long train rides. It does have a pretty limited area, though, only including Niigata city and the immediate surrounding area. That’s more than enough space to cover in a day, but you won’t be able to go much further in any direction than Nagaoka, Aga, or Murakami. It also only works on trains–not buses–and both the shinkansen and limited express trains are extra since you have to get a limited express ticket, too. Still, it’s a good pass for if you plan to travel in Niigata, but want to stay close to the city.

Another option is the Echigo Two-Day Pass (えちごツーデーパス). The Echigo Two-Day Pass is 2,740 yen and includes a lot more of Niigata. In fact, it includes most of Niigata prefecture as well as a couple of stops in Fukuoka on certain train lines. However, as with the One-Day Pass, you can’t use it for buses and the shinkansen and limited express are extra. It also can only be purchased for weekends and holidays right now, which includes uses for Friday-Saturday and Saturday-Sunday. This pass works best if you want to travel in Niigata for a weekend and stop at a lot of places, especially if you’re planning to stay somewhere along the way. Since the local trains are slower, it can take a while to go to and from somewhere in one day.

Additionally, there’s also the JR East Nagano, Niigata area pass. This is like the regular JR East pass, but a little cheaper in exchange for the more limited area. While it is a lot more expensive at 18,000 yen, it comes with the widest area (including Nagano and Tokyo!), unlimited shinkansen rides, and 5-days worth of usage. It’s a good investment if you’ll be visiting for a while and want to make your way around the prefecture or just want to pop down to Tokyo for a few days. This pass is actually less than one round trip from Niigata city to Tokyo on the shinkansen, so even using it for one day saves you money. You can even get reserved seats for no extra cost. Just hit “Reserved Seat” then “Reserve seat with a discount ticket” on the machine, put your JR pass in, and pick your seat. The best thing (for me at least) is that, unlike the JR West pass, even foreign residents can buy JR East passes with their passports.

At this point, I’ve gotten the chance to use all three of these passes: Echigo One-Day to visit Tsubame-Sanjo, Echigo Two-Day to go to the Tokamachi Snow Festival, and JR East during my trip to Tokyo. I’d say of all the passes, the Echigo Two-Day pass is the least worth it. As great as it is that the Two-Day pass covers a widerarea since you can’t use the shinkansen without paying extra, it’s not great for traveling those distances. Plus, it’s limited to weekends and holidays, so if you’re there for a few weekdays, you’re out of luck. The One-Day pass’s limited area means you can reach even the farthest stations in around an hour and JR passes don’t limit shinkansen use, but if you use the Echigo Two-Day pass to travel in Niigata, you might find yourself seeing more of the trains than the prefecture itself. However, all three are good for their own circumstances, so really consider what’s best for your trip.

Please Look At This Fucked Up Room To The East The Crafter Found

Isn't it amazing?

Apparently the minecraft wiki had a procedural ad to Zampanio in it, which lead to my branch and the newest Unmarked, the Crafter of Zampanio, has been live blogging East for a while now and found THIS room which... I can only assume is Rage + Eye + ???????????????????????????? (what fucks with contrast???). It's amazing how much of my own mazes I've never seen and I love when people live blog so I can see more of them.

The there's only one bed trope but it's Barty and Regulus moving into their dream apartment together but they can only afford a one bedroom and think it'll be fine sharing a bed because they're besties, right?

Regulus being a total bed hog and Barty sleeping on the couch and complications when one of them has someone over, Barty shaving in the bathroom in the morning while Regulus is trying to shower, Regulus vacuuming while Barty is trying to work, Barty's herb plant dying on the windowsill because Regulus forgot to water it and now they simply can't have any good pasta without the fresh basil

#they definitely get a place in new york #i'm thinking lower east side #reg like the architecture and it's close to little italy where barty has some old friends and distant relatives #also they're disowned so it's kind of all they can afford #it's small but it's theirs #and they're moving out of a place they'd had with evan and pandora so it's their first time living just the two of them #the trials and tribulations of it #the sweet domesticity #i'm so in love with them #bartylus #barty crouch jr #regulus black

Japan’s Tohoku Shinkansen passing at close to 300km/h. 🚝

—

The Tōhoku Shinkansen is a Japanese high-speed Shinkansen rail line, connecting Tokyo with Aomori in Aomori Prefecture in a route length of 674.9 km (419.4 mi), making it Japan's longest Shinkansen line.

It runs through the more sparsely populated Tōhoku region of Japan's main island, Honshu.

It was extended as the Hokkaido Shinkansen through the Seikan Tunnel to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto (this section opened in March 2016) and is expected to be extended to Sapporo by 2030.

It has two Mini-shinkansen branch lines, the Yamagata Shinkansen and Akita Shinkansen.

The line is operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).
