The Launch of 'Train Navita' at Tokiwa-Daira Station

Keisei Electric Railway has recently unveiled the fifth version of its beloved 'Train Navita' at Tokiwa-Daira Station in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture. This new installation draws inspiration from the iconic 8800 series train cars, showcasing not only the beauty of the vehicle but also the innovative spirit of public transport.

The introduction of 'Train Navita' by Display Lantern Co., Ltd., based in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture and represented by CEO Takahiro Tokumo, underlines the company's commitment to enhancing public information systems. Through various guiding maps displayed at train stations and in local government offices, as well as in police facilities, Display Lantern operates over 4,000 'Navita' installations across Japan. Notably, approximately 2,400 of these are located at train stations, with over 80% of the major 994 stations—those with more than 30,000 daily passengers—equipped with these essential maps.

The latest iteration of the 'Train Navita' is a striking representation of the 8800 series train, which is characterized by its signature red and blue color scheme. This vibrant design remains true to the heritage of Keisei vehicles while integrating modern elements that enhance user interaction. The unique visual elements, particularly the distinctively styled connections of the train cars, make the 'Train Navita' a delightful focal point that invites passengers to engage with it. This artistic installation not only informs but also serves as an iconic symbol that beautifies the waiting areas of the station.

Display Lantern aims to make the maps more than just functional tools—they want them to be engaging experiences. By providing useful location information alongside a touch of fun, they strive to uplift the spirits of travelers who use these amenities. As more people navigate through their daily routines at places like Tokiwa-Daira Station, installations like 'Train Navita' ensure that art and practicality coexist beautifully.

In addition to improving public transport infrastructure, 'Navita' serves as a vital connector for local communities. Each map installation serves not just as a static guide but as a dynamic part of the fabric of local culture. Whether it is guiding a resident to the nearest police station or helping a tourist find their way to a local attraction, these installations play an integral role in enhancing connectivity and safety within the community.

This continuous evolution of 'Navita' reflects Display Lantern's dedication to innovation in public information systems. As they look forward, their mission remains clear: to spread joy through engaging and user-friendly mapping solutions that bring smiles to faces while serving the essential need for information on the go.

With the launch of the 'Train Navita' at Tokiwa-Daira Station, Display Lantern once again demonstrates how art, culture, and technology can seamlessly come together, providing both beauty and utility in the everyday lives of commuters and visitors alike.
