This initiative aims to enhance the public's appreciation for the rail industry and facilitate various activities nationwide to celebrate this significant transportation method.

We sincerely hope to see you at this grand celebration of Japanese railway history and innovation! It's a unique opportunity to experience the wonders of trains and deepen your connection with this integral part of our society.
