1. They’re monetizing a decades old segment. Hopefully the folks from 水曜どうでしょう will get a cut.

2. Is this real? It looks really cool and would be a great thing to do during summer.

3. Does Sora News 24 actually publish anything useful, accurate or interesting?

   EDIT: I’m not interested in riding vehicles made of cardboard, either. Seems to me they enjoy pushing Japanese ‘uniqueness’ at the expense of actually having a point.

4. Did this yesterday. Now need to choose a day and find somewhere to stay in Amarube

5. Wish there was one for Tokyo

6. Wait…the ticket is ¥5000 but…

   “With the regular cost of return trips to the above destinations ranging between 4,180 yen and 24,240 yen, the saikoro ticket presents a discount of 45.5-82.9 percent off regular prices.”

   One of the tickets offered is usually ¥4,180 yen.

   I don’t understand.

7. Theres a roll of the dice, but seven destinations! 7 sided die?!

8. I can’t believe I can finally buy a ticket to *Doesn’t matter, cheap flights*
