青春１８きっぷ Seishun 18 kippu

Today I get a JR(Japan railway line)ticket.
It's Seishun 18 Kippu. 1 day free, 5 times for the period.
it's 11500 yen. so 2300 yen each day. only 2300 yen you can go from tokyo to kyushu.
this time 10th Dec to 10th Jan. we can get three times in a year.
spring, summer, winter.
I'm 35 years old. I'd like to use super express Shinkansen. but i'm poor.............
but not but the trip with the ticket. we can get out from train on the way.

Kodo 香道

Kodo is the japanese art of appreciating incense and involves using incense within a structure of codified conduct.

It's a very nice fragrance.
