It was a very rare day today. If you write today's date in Japanese, it is 平成２２年２月２２日（heisei nijyuni nen nigatsu nijyuni nichi）. There are five 2. It's so rare that many train companies issued special entrance tickets stamped 22222. Enoden(江ノ電) in Kanagawa (神奈川) started selling the set memorial entrance tickets from Feb. 11, they sold 1,000 sets before Feb. 22. Set tickets of the Keihin kyuko (京浜急行) line were sold out in a few hours this morning. So were other train companies.
The last time it happened like this was January 1 and November 11, 1999 that is 11 years ago. They were 平成１１年１月１日（heisei jyuichi nen ichigatsu tsuitachi) or 平成１１年１１月１１日 (heisei jyuichi nen jyuichi gatsu jyuichi nichi).
And the next time will be March 3, 2021. That will be 平成３３年３月３日(heisei sanjyusan nen san gatsu mikka).
