[Save this] It's starting in 2025! Get a great deal on the Shinkansen with the Tabi Kyun Early Bird Pass✨

Last year, we got a great deal on the weekday-only unlimited-ride pass "Travel Weekdays! JR East Tabi Kyun ♥ Early Bird Pass," commonly known as the Kyun ♥ Pass, which will be on sale again this year, so we'd like to introduce it to you. Kyun Pass is a weekday-only ticket from 2025.2/13 to 2025.3/13, and you must apply two weeks before your departure date. You can ride all JR East lines, Aoimori Railway Line, Iwate Galaxy Railway Line, Sanriku Railway Line, Hokuetsu Express Line, and Echigo Tokimeki Railway Line (between Naoetsu and Arai) within the free area on ordinary car unreserved seats and BRT trains (including Shinkansen) for one day or two consecutive days, for 10,000 yen per day or 18,000 yen for two consecutive days. You can reserve two reserved seats for one day, and up to four reserved seats for two days. This is the travel plan I used on 2/20 last year. ↓↓↓This is the itinerary for the trip departing and arriving at JR Omiya Station in Saitama Prefecture, but I hope you will find it useful✨ 6:57 Departure from Omiya - 10:24 Arrival in Akita (JR Akita Shinkansen Komachi 1) • Eat a Sendai beef tongue bento purchased at Omiya Station After arriving in Akita • Purchase souvenirs at the Akita Prefectural Products Plaza • Eat Inaniwa udon at Sato Yosuke Akita Store • Eat oyakodon at Akita Hinai Jidori Ya Then move to Aomori by express train 12:40 Departure from Akita - 15:22 Arrival in Aomori (JR Ou Main Line Tsugaru 3) After arriving in Aomori • Learn about the history of Nebuta at Nebuta House Wa Rasse • ​​A-FACTORY • Purchase souvenirs at • Eat seafood bowls at Aomori Kitchen POPE Then move to Morioka Depart Aomori at 17:26 - Arrive Shin-Aomori at 17:31 (JR Ou Main Line) Depart Shin-Aomori at 17:44 - Arrive Morioka at 18:45 (JR Tohoku Shinkansen Hayabusa No. 42) After arriving in Morioka • Purchase yogurt at Kenji no Daichikan • Eat cold noodles and horumon at Morirokukaku End the trip and head home Depart Morioka at 20:29 - Arrive Omiya at 23:18 (JR Tohoku Shinkansen Yamabiko No. 74) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Travel on weekdays! JR East Tabi Kyun Early Bird Pass Gourmet trip to three Tohoku prefectures Total distance traveled: 1505.4km Total cost: Tabi Kyun Early Bird Pass ¥10,000 If travelling at regular fare: ¥41,779 [¥31,779 cheaper per person than usual] *I booked reserved seats in advance on Komachi 1 from Omiya to Akita, which departs from JR Omiya Station, and Hayabusa 42 from Shin-Aomori to Morioka. I used unreserved seats on Tsugaru 3 from Akita and Yamabiko 74 from Morioka to Omiya. Weekdays However, the Tsugaru was very popular. If you want to use the unreserved seats on the Tsugaru, I recommend lining up at the platform early. Yamabiko 74 departed from Morioka, so the train was pretty empty on the way to Sendai. This trip was a whirlwind schedule with only about two hours in each city, but it was a very happy trip as I got to visit Akita, Aomori, and Iwate, which I've always wanted to visit. I'm grateful to my friends who accompanied me on my whirlwind day trip. Please use this as reference for your own travels. - - ...
