One of the most memorable events for me was completion of TSUKUBA EXPRESS on August 26, 2005. Two years ago , I came to Tsukuba and worried about transport. There were few ways to go outside TSUKUBA. Actually until TSUKUBA EXPRESS was completed, the closest station was HITACHINO USIKU. It took 30 minutes by car from my home to that station. And JYOUBAN Line cost too much. So I felt it was inconvenient to live in TSUKUBA.
On the day which TSUKUBA EXPRESS was completed, I supposed to see the ceremony which celebrated the starting of running. But I overslept and missed it! It was the most regretful thing for me.
The first time I got on the TSUKUBA EXPRESS was August 30, 2005. It was very comfortable and we could see natural green scenery. If you get on the rapid express, you can reach Akihabara in only 45 minutes.
It brought me much benefit when I started my job hunting. I’m glad to come TSUKUBA when the TSUKUBA EXPRESS was completed.
