Remember – Gakuwari coupons are for YOU and only you, the IUJ student, to use for the discount. Do not give it away, or buy a ticket with it and give that ticket to others. Thank you.
There is one stop in between Muikamachi and Urasa, and between Urasa and Koide. There are many stops between Koide and Nagaoka (usually the last stop). You will need to transfer at Nagaoka to continue on to Niigata City, etc.
The local JR line is convenient to use to get to Koide Hospital or Muikamachi Hospital. Shuttle buses run from the Koide and Muikamachi stations to their respective hospitals.
