Japanese National Railways Shinkansen Reserved Seat Limited Express Ticket Hikari No. 173 Tokyo to Shin-Osaka Issued in Showa 63 (1988)
Product Details
This is a reserved seat express ticket for the Shinkansen, issued on March 28, 1988 (Showa 63), from the Japanese National Railways (JNR) era.
The ticket is for the Tokyo to Shin-Osaka route, on the Hikari 173 service, seat 9D in car 10, for travel on March 31.
The ticket still bears the ε½ι (JNR) marking, making it a valuable piece of documentation from the transition period when some ticket windows continued to use old-style tickets even after the establishment of JR (April 1987).
The presence of perforations for continuous paper also provides insight into the specifications of the ticketing machines of the time, adding to its value as a railway collectible.
