How to Participate
There is no participation fee.
First, get a pamphlet at major stations in the Tokyo metropolitan area or at Shinkansen stations where stamps are installed.
Stamps are located outside the ticket gates of each station, so if you use a ticket or IC card (e.g., Suica) to go around, you will be charged a fare each time.

What is the Pokemon Stamp Rally?
The Pokemon Stamp Rally has been held almost every year since 1997, and has become a regular summer vacation event. Although there have been years when the event has been cancelled due to various reasons, it has become a popular event for children (and adults, of course) to participate during the school summer vacation period, and has remained a popular event to this day due to the advantage for JR East, a railroad company, of earning transportation revenue.
