Coupon or Kokubunji Course? A First-Timer Does the Math at Okusama wa Angel Kokubunji
A first-timer rides the Chuo Line out to Kokubunji on a weekday morning, weighs the new-customer coupon (80 minutes ¥18,000) against the station-hotel-only Kokubunji course (90 minutes ¥21,000), books the coupon, and works out why the local course is really a regulars' price. He also flags a ¥1,000 nomination fee the shop's own page can't agree on.
