For approximately 1 year starting from August 2015, Seibu Railway Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, President: Hisashi Wakabayashi, hereinafter "Seibu Railway"), Keikyu Corporation Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato Ward, Tokyo, President: Kazuyuki Harada, hereinafter "Keikyu Railway"), East Japan Railway Company (Head Office: Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, President Tetsuro Tomita, hereinafter "JR East") and the Taiwan Railways Administration (Head Office: Taipei City, Taiwan, Director: Yung-Hui Chou, hereinafter "TRA") will be holding the "Travel Japan and Taiwan! Railroad Stamp Rally" event.
This stamp rally is aimed at promoting development in both Japan and Taiwan as well as development of the participating companies, and the stamp rally is being implemented to commemorate the conclusion of a "Sister Station Agreement" between JR East Tokyo Station and TRA Hsinchu Station on February 9, 2015, the conclusion of a "Railway Friendship Agreement" between Keikyu Railway and the TRA on February 26, 2015 and a "Sister Railway Agreement" between Seibu Railway and the TRA on March 14, 2015.
Stamps are planned to be placed at major tourist locations along each rail line (Seibu Chichibu Station and Hon-Kawagoe Station for Seibu Railway, Miurakaigan Station and Haneda Airport International Terminal Station for Keikyu Railway, Tokyo Station for JR East, and Taipei Station, Hsinchu Station, Taichung Station, Chiayi Station, and Hualien Station for the TRA), and we believe in addition to allowing travelers to enjoy the excitement of the stamp rally, the event will also allow them to discover new and appealing things about both Japan and Taiwan.
An official news release will be published once details are finalized.
