回数券: ticket book. The Japanese noun '回数券 (かいすうけん)' refers to a 'ticket book' or a 'multi-ride ticket'. This is a type of ticket that allows multiple uses, often at a discounted rate compared to buying individual tickets. It is commonly used for public transportation, such as trains or buses, but can also be used for other services like parking or events. For example: I bought a ticket book for the train「電車の回数券を買いました」(でんしゃのかいすうけんをかいました). This ticket book has 10 rides「この回数券は10回分です」(このかいすうけんはじゅっかいぶんです). The term is a combination of '回数 (かいすう)', meaning 'number of times', and '券 (けん)', meaning 'ticket'.
