[Tokyo] Enjoy a train trip and gourmet food at a great value using the roundabout ride!

I want to enjoy a short trip near Tokyo on my next holiday! For such people, I would like to recommend traveling by train using the long roundabout ride. In some areas, including Tokyo, the long round trip is a rule where the lowest fare is applied no matter which route you take. There are various restrictions, including the fact that you have to write your route in one line, but you can enjoy your trip at a cheaper price than the regular fare!

Points to keep in mind when riding around a large circle

There are some rules for roundabout rides.
Specifically, if you want to take a detour in Tokyo, you must complete it within the Tokyo suburbs.
・Tickets are valid for one day only and cannot be used for two days.
-Do not go through the same station more than once.
・You cannot exit through the ticket gates at stations along the way.
And so on. Looking at it this way, there are various restrictions, but in other words, you can enjoy day trips at low fares as long as you take the train using a one-stroke route and don't go out of the ticket gate.

If you want to enjoy gourmet food on a long roundabout ride, get off at this station!

Some people enjoy traveling by train, but for others it may be a bit boring. There is no problem with the long-circle ride as long as you don't go outside the ticket gate, so be sure to get off the train and enjoy the gourmet food inside the ticket gate! This time we will introduce stations in the Tokyo suburbs where you can enjoy popular gourmet food.

Abiko Station

Abiko Station is located in Abiko City, Chiba Prefecture, but it is within the Tokyo suburbs of Chiba Prefecture, so you can get there by taking a long detour. The recommended gourmet food at this station is Yayoiken's Karaage Soba (480 yen). The soba noodles are topped with a large piece of fried chicken that almost covers the bowl, making it extremely satisfying to eat. I want to eat on an empty stomach. By the way, you can also order fried chicken separately.

Akihabara Station

There is a "milk stand" on the platform of Akihabara Station, the closest station to Akihabara Electric Town, selling a variety of milk and bread. There is a wide variety of milk available, and in addition to regular milk, they also have coffee milk, strawberry milk, fruit milk, etc. This is the perfect refueling spot to stop by when you want to take a breather instead of eating a hearty meal.

Tokyo Station

Tokyo Station is known as one of Japan's leading terminal stations. There are a wide variety of shops operating inside the ticket gate, making it a good place to buy some snacks. Among the many shops, one that I would like to recommend is Katsura Shindo, which is open in GRANSTA. At this shop, you can enjoy the ``Tokyo Ebi Furai'' (540 yen for 5 bags), which is a shrimp cracker with the aroma of shrimp.

This time, we introduced a long roundabout ride using JR's system and recommended gourmet spots inside the ticket gates of stations in the Tokyo area. The long roundabout ride is just a special case, so be sure to check the rules and enjoy your trip!
