Do you know that?
I'm in Tokyo now. I came here from Kyoto by local trains as I wrote yesterday. I used seishun 18 kippu(青春18切符). This is sold at the price of 11,500yen during spring, summer and winter vacation seasons. This is five-ticket set of one day travelcard. You can get on and off the local train all day long, but you can't use an express train or shinkansen. You're allowed to get on local trains. However, if you're in Japan and you don't have much money and you have enough time, it's worth using.
However, I have an advice. Please don't use it under last-minutes travel plan. Because, sometimes trouble may happen and then train may delay...

Seishun 18 Kippu (青春18切符)
Do you know what? (This is colloquial.)
I came here from Kyoto by local trains as I wrote yesterday. (If you took more than one train, we should use "trains".)
I used a seishun 18 kippu (青春18切符).
This is a five-ticket set for a one day travel card. (I'm not exactly sure what type of card it is; is it more than one, or is it several tickets in one card?)
You can get on and off the local train all day long, but you can't use an express train, or the shinkansen.
However, if you're in Japan, and you have the time, but not the money, it's worth using. (This is somewhat colloquial as well.)
I also have some advice. (It doesn't read well to use "However" in sequential sentences.)
Please don't use it as a last-minute travel plan, because you may experience delays when traveling by train...

I understand this experience. Not in the sense of the tickets, but with trains. When I was 17, I traveled across America to help a friend of mine move from Nevada to Indiana. On my way back, I experienced a 3-hour layover (delay) in Chicago because the train was late. I fell asleep as I waited. Other passengers were being loud and woke me up about 20 minutes before the train arrived. 怖いでした。 >_<;
Your journal reminded me of that time.
東京は好きですか。 おつかれさまです。
I don't know what happened. Haha, sorry!
Thank you so much. Your advice is really useful!!

Dear Demosth,
Oh, you experienced a 3-hour delay? That must have been awful!!
On my way home from Tokyo, I had an hour delay.
The wing was so strong and trains stopped to run.
I really knew that I had to depart Tokyo early, but I left there afternoon.
I was very upset during train stopped, but the wind blew over and trains started to run after an hour. I arrived at Kyoto at 11PM...
