Other その他
1. "The Beer Train", celebrating 120 years of the JR Joban Line 「キリン一番搾り」と「宴」の旅、JR常磐線の開業120周年の特別なイベント
This year marks the 120th anniversary of the JR Joban Line. For Matsudo locals, the Joban Line is the most vital link we have to the big city. It connects Chiba prefecture's Toride Station with Ueno Station in Tokyo, and passes through Matsudo Station on the way.
To celebrate this milestone JR have organised a special service to travel from Toride, down the Joban Line to Minami-Senju, out to Tabata Yards, and then back. The service will be run by special train 'Utage', which is set up with tables for dining and drinking. Each passenger ticket will come with a luxury bento-box and all-you-can-drink Kirin Beer (!!).
This is likely to be the only opportunity to ride the 'Beer Train' down the Joban Line, so tickets will sell out fast! Let's all celebrate the line that keeps us 'close-but-not-too-close' to Tokyo.
Date: Friday November 11th, 2016 (PM)
Departure time dependent upon station.
Tickets: 6500 yen (minimum purchase of 2 tickets)
To be purchased from the View Plaza Travel desk at Matsudo, Kashiwa, Kanamachi or Kita-Senju Stations, until sold out.
