The Launch of the Chiba Meister Train

In a bid to promote local knowledge and culture, the Choshi Electric Railway Company (Choshi, Chiba Prefecture) is proud to announce the launch of the Chiba Meister Train in collaboration with the Chiba Meister Certification program, spearheaded by Chiba Nippo Co., Ltd. The initiative aims to highlight the region's history, geography, industry, culture, tourism, and agriculture.

Overview of the Chiba Meister Train

The Chiba Meister Train will operate along the Choshi Electric Railway line starting from September 1 to September 30, 2023. However, it is essential to note that the train will not run every day throughout the month. The train features a special branding initiative, designed to attract attention to the new certification program. The train's interior will proudly display advertisements promoting the program.

To incentivize participation, passengers on the Chiba Meister Train can sign up for the certification test via a QR code featured in the train's advertising posts. Those who register through this method will benefit from a discount on the testing fee. In addition to the discount, participants will receive a welcome kit including official texts, curated question sets, and a set of six traditional Choshi welled rice crackers (known as nuware senbei), providing a delightful taste of the region.

About the Chiba Meister Certification

The Chiba Meister certification is designed to equip participants with comprehensive knowledge about various aspects of Chiba Prefecture. It covers subjects ranging from historical facts to local industries, aiming to foster a deeper understanding of the region. Notably, the initiative will contribute 1% of the registration fees collected to the Choshi Electric Railway, promoting a sense of local pride and investment in the community.

This initiative is part of a special advertising plan by Chiba Nippo Co., Ltd., encompassing train car branding and newspaper campaigns. Further details about related advertisements will also appear in upcoming issues of the Chiba Nippo newspaper, ensuring that the community stays informed about this exciting local endeavor.
