"切符" (kippu) is the Japanese word for "ticket." It is commonly used for various forms of transportation, such as trains, buses, and subways. In Japan, tickets are essential for boarding public transport, and they can be purchased at ticket machines or counters. In addition to transportation, "切符" can also refer to tickets for events, such as concerts or movies. These tickets serve as proof of purchase and grant entry to the event. The design and format of tickets can vary, but they typically include information like the date, time, and location of the event or journey.
