Why JR East Entered the Vending Machine Business in UK Stations: The Popularity of ¥600 Peach Juice
JR West Japan, Tottori Prefecture, and Pokemon are collaborating to operate the “Tottori Sand Train” wrapped with Tottori’s favorite Pokemon “Sandshrew” starting March 10.
The wrapping is applied to one Type Kiha 47 train set of two cars. The design features “Sandshrew” and “Alolan Sandshrew” set against a background inspired by the Tottori Sand Dunes and Daisen National Park.
The operation route spans the Sanin Main Line (from Toyooka Station to Yonago Station) and the Inbi Line (from Tottori Station to Nagi Station). A ceremony will coincide with the departure of the train heading to Hamasaka, leaving at 0:19 PM. The operation plan can be confirmed on the official website of Tottori Prefecture.
