The coming March 15 will be a long awaited date. The JR (Japan Railway) card SUICA will be available here at this rural Nagaoka station.I have long waited for this date. I have owned a SUICA card since long ago, because I often go Tokyo area for business. I feel it is inconvenient that the card is only available in urban areas. I wanted to charge up my SUICA points, but I always lose out on points while in my home town.
From now on, I will be able to charge SUICA points every day, and I will get many cute penguin goods.
I, Penguin President, love the SUICA penguin, not the SUICA card.
I feel like the SUICA penguin is saying "Thank you" to me when I buy something with the SUICA card. And I always buy additional, needless juice or magazines at KIOSK stands.
The JR company sometimes holds sales campaigns titled "You can get XX for a SUICA charge of XX points". When I find such campaigns, I always go KIOSK-hopping to add SUICA points up to the point goal; buy one juice in a KIOSK, and buy another one at
other KIOSK.I think I am completely manipulated by JR advertisements.
Now, a large sales campaign is going on at Nagaoka station, and many cute SUICA penguins are visible everywhere in the station building.
Of course, I, Penguin President, amd very happy to see that.
I hope the SUICA card and the penguin will prevail all throughout Nagaoka city and the outskirts.
