The Hokkaido Railway Vitalization Council will run the "Sumikko Gurashi: Hokkaido no Tetsudo Stamp Atsume no Tabi" campaign from October 15, 2024 to January 14, 2025 to promote the use of railroads in Hokkaido.

This campaign, in collaboration with the popular character "Sumikko Gurashi," is designed to appeal to a wide range of people from children to adults.

The campaign will feature a "stamp rally" in which participants will collect stamps while touring 20 stations in JR Hokkaido. Participants can use their smartphones to collect stamps at each station and apply for prizes on a special website. A total of 20 different "Sumikko Gurashi" character stamps will appear, and depending on the number of stamps collected, there will be a chance to win original "Sumikko Gurashi" campaign goods.

Also, during the campaign period, a special train will run with "Sumikko Gurashi" wrapped inside the H100 Nemuro Line wrapped train car (H100-86) (Note 1), which was introduced with the support of Hokkaido and the national government.

Stamp rally: Collect stamps at each station using your smart phone to apply for prizes.

Prizes: Original goods (acrylic stands, sakosh, pouches, clear files, etc.)

Through this campaign, we hope that many people will rediscover the charm of Hokkaido's railroads and regions and enjoy traveling medium to long distances by rail. We hope you will take this opportunity to travel Hokkaido by rail!
