Commemorative platform tickets

Today is February 2, 2010.

So what?- you might ask. Well, 2010 is, in the Japanese ‘nengo’ system, Heisei 22, which means that today is 22.2.2.

To commemorate this, Saijo Station (amongst others) has been selling special platform tickets today. No doubt there will be more such tickets on sale in just under three weeks, on February 22- 22.2.22.
