East Japan Railway Company (JR East) will offer products that provide a 50% discount on eligible limited express trains on weekdays only. These will be available exclusively through the online reservation service “Ekinet,” and are limited by travel date, train, section, and number of seats.

Two types of products will be offered: the “Tokkyu Tokuda-ne Special 28,” which provides a 50% discount on a combined basic fare ticket and limited express ticket, and the “Conventional Line Ticketless Limited Express Ticket (Tokuda-ne Special 28),” which provides a 50% discount on the limited express ticket only.

Eligible trains for the “Tokkyu Tokuda-ne Special 28” are the “Spacia Nikko,” “Kinugawa,” “Inaho,” and “Shirayuki.” For example, the fare for “Spacia Nikko” between Shinjuku and Tobu-Nikko, normally 4,140 yen, will be 2,070 yen, and the fare for “Shirayuki” between Niigata and Joetsu-Myoko, normally 5,540 yen, will be 2,770 yen.
