| Moekko Free Ticket 14th Season |
Engan Bus Co. Ltd. is the sole operator of the bus industry of Rumoi Subprefecture. Regardless, the company is extremely generous to its clients. They have fare discount schemes where if you buy 1000 yen in pre-paid tickets, you get 200 yen in tickets. The catch is that you can only get it at the Engan Bus Sales Office near JR Rumoi Station.
I pinned it on the map below:
However, the focus of this article is on the Moekko Free Ticket (萌えっ子フリーきっぷ). If you've traveled around Japan, you're probably familiar with the unlimited train, subway, and bus tickets. That is essentially what the Moekko Free Ticket is. There are three kinds of Moekko Free Tickets to choose from:
 |
2-day Ticket A - 3900 yen
|
 |
2-day Ticket B - 3900 yen
|
 |
| 2-day Skip Ticket - 3900 yen |
The Moekko Free Ticket is perfect if you would visit faraway towns like Embetsu until Toyotomi. Here's the route map of the Engan Bus for your school visits:

Before buying your tickets, wait for your visit school schedule and look for your Embetsu and Teshio visit. If they are next to each other in a week, then buy the 2-day Ticket A/B. If they are placed apart in the week then the Skip 2-day Ticket is. However, if you'd only go to one of them in the week, buy the 1-day Pass A/B. Heads up! Ask permission from either your main JTE or the Kyoto Sensei before heading out to buy the tickets during work hours.

I usually hoard 1-day and 2-day tickets after I receive my salary as it saves me from the hassle of asking permission weekly. So with that, good luck my dear successor. I hope you find this article useful in your life in Rumoi City as an ALT.
