Slow travel in Japan with the Seishun Juhachi Kippu (青春１８きっぷ, meaning something like "Youthful 18 Ticket"). It is a seasonally available railway ticket, which offers five single days of unlimited, nationwide travel on local and rapid JR (Japan Railways) trains for only 12,050 yen, or 2,410 yen per day. It cannot be used on bullet trains neither on special express trains so going to faraway destinations requires changing many trains which if planned well, it can bring a traveller to interesting local places. Within each day of travel, one can make as many stops as they want. The travel days don't have to be successive either.
