Travel in Niigata: Echigo One and Two-Day Passes

I recently learned some interesting new ways to travel in Niigata. Not only is there the JR East Nagano, Niigata area pass that also includes Nagano and Tokyo as well, but there is also the Echigo One-Day Pass and Echigo Two-Day Pass. These two passes both have more limitations than the JR East Niigata area pass, but they’re also much cheaper, making them worth it if you just need a couple of days of unlimited local train rides. It’s nice to know there are so many options for getting around Niigata!

The Echigo One-Day Pass (えちごワンデーパス) can be purchased any day of the year for a full day of use. You can buy it at the ticket machines or the window for 1,570 yen, which is certainly worth it if you’re planning on taking even one or two long train rides. It does have a pretty limited area, though, only including Niigata city and the immediate surrounding area. That’s more than enough space to cover in a day, but you won’t be able to go much further in any direction than Nagaoka, Aga, or Murakami. It also only works on trains–not buses–and both the shinkansen and limited express trains are extra since you have to get a limited express ticket, too. Still, it’s a good pass for if you plan to travel in Niigata, but want to stay close to the city.

Another option is the Echigo Two-Day Pass (えちごツーデーパス). The Echigo Two-Day Pass is 2,740 yen and includes a lot more of Niigata. In fact, it includes most of Niigata prefecture as well as a couple of stops in Fukuoka on certain train lines. However, as with the One-Day Pass, you can’t use it for buses and the shinkansen and limited express are extra. It also can only be purchased for weekends and holidays right now, which includes uses for Friday-Saturday and Saturday-Sunday. This pass works best if you want to travel in Niigata for a weekend and stop at a lot of places, especially if you’re planning to stay somewhere along the way. Since the local trains are slower, it can take a while to go to and from somewhere in one day.

Additionally, there’s also the JR East Nagano, Niigata area pass. This is like the regular JR East pass, but a little cheaper in exchange for the more limited area. While it is a lot more expensive at 18,000 yen, it comes with the widest area (including Nagano and Tokyo!), unlimited shinkansen rides, and 5-days worth of usage. It’s a good investment if you’ll be visiting for a while and want to make your way around the prefecture or just want to pop down to Tokyo for a few days. This pass is actually less than one round trip from Niigata city to Tokyo on the shinkansen, so even using it for one day saves you money. You can even get reserved seats for no extra cost. Just hit “Reserved Seat” then “Reserve seat with a discount ticket” on the machine, put your JR pass in, and pick your seat. The best thing (for me at least) is that, unlike the JR West pass, even foreign residents can buy JR East passes with their passports.

At this point, I’ve gotten the chance to use all three of these passes: Echigo One-Day to visit Tsubame-Sanjo, Echigo Two-Day to go to the Tokamachi Snow Festival, and JR East during my trip to Tokyo. I’d say of all the passes, the Echigo Two-Day pass is the least worth it. As great as it is that the Two-Day pass covers a widerarea since you can’t use the shinkansen without paying extra, it’s not great for traveling those distances. Plus, it’s limited to weekends and holidays, so if you’re there for a few weekdays, you’re out of luck. The One-Day pass’s limited area means you can reach even the farthest stations in around an hour and JR passes don’t limit shinkansen use, but if you use the Echigo Two-Day pass to travel in Niigata, you might find yourself seeing more of the trains than the prefecture itself. However, all three are good for their own circumstances, so really consider what’s best for your trip.

I just want to show you all something.

This is crazy! Look how it is worded. The UN gave Palestine and only Palestine its own branch (UNRAW). People that worked for the UN were heavily involved in the massacre of Oct 7th. The UN has continuously backed Palestine over Israel, they admit to giving money to terrorist organizations, they have never once stood up for Israel and they deny the indigenousness of Jews to the land of Israel and do not allow any other country to transfer refugee status to loved ones.

This is the propaganda we are talking about. This, hamas is a terrorist group who forcefully took control of Palestine after a bloody and brutal civil war, that ended with hamas in office. This was in 2006-2007. Before Hamas they had an ability to vote, since that was kinda why the uprising happened... Palestine has not had a vote since hamas has been in office. There has been more violence, more cruelty to the citizens.

Also their blog is "Palestine News 786", this is how people get sucked into bias. This is a legitimate claim from the people of Palestine. Palestine has state media which means that the government controls the media outlets. So everything that comes out of articles directly from the country are heavily biased, staged, even just flat out lies.

If you play the victim people will think you are a victim and stand up for you. But you would stab them in the back at the first chance you'd get.

People think this is legitimately a news source and that's horrifying...

The internet has ruined education when it was supposed to make it easier to educate ourselves. With the overload of information on a single topic people tend to go with one of the first few links (which their spot is placed there because they pay google). Wikipedia is the worst resource and I don't understand why it even exists other than to be able to manipulate and confuse others.

How about the terrorists stop carrying out acts of violence against countries like Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine.

Think about where you get your information before you take it seriously...
