JR East Yokohama Branch / Provided by Plenty's Inc.

JR Yokohama Shonan City Create Co., Ltd. (Location: Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture / Representative Director and President: Osamu Tamura) will co-host an experiential event for parents and children to enjoy on Children's Day with East Japan Railway Company Yokohama Branch (Location: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture / Executive Officer Yokohama Branch Manager: Seiichi Yano, hereinafter "JR East").

With the desire to "have families spend a special Golden Week through events that parents and children can enjoy together," we have prepared a perfect collaborative project for Children's Day that allows participants to enjoy both a railway experience in a train yard* and an ice cream making experience by "Plenty's," a shop located in Shonan Chigasaki. We hope this event, where you can enjoy the excitement of railways and the deliciousness experience at the same time, will become a page in your family's memory-making.

This experiential event will be sold through the "Ishobako Ticket" section within JRE MALL Ticket, an EC mall site operated by JR East. It can also be purchased at "JR East Yokohama Branch" within JRE MALL Ticket.

*A track where trains are temporarily parked, usually inaccessible to the general public.

About the Head Sign Photo Shoot Experience in the Train Yard

Participants can experience a special ride from the JR East Chigasaki Station Sagami Line platform to the train yard, using tracks that customers usually cannot ride on. In the train yard, participants can attach drawings they have created as head signs to actual trains and take commemorative photos with the trains. During the waiting time until the photo shoot, participants can enjoy railway-related content inside the train.

### ① Plenty's Ice Cream Making Experience

Plenty's is an ice cream specialty shop located in Shonan Chigasaki. Its famous "Mazemaze" ice cream, made with 100% Chigasaki-produced raw milk and customized with toppings, is widely loved by local residents and tourists alike.

This time, Plenty's will hold an on-site ice cream making experience at LUSCA Hall for the first time. Participants can choose their favorite toppings and "Mazemaze" to create their original ice cream. This special experience also allows them to add toppings to popular waffles. You can enjoy your own ice cream and waffles on the spot, feeling like a shop staff member.

### ② Other Railway Experiential Events

We offer various experiential contents that make you feel closer to the work of a station employee, such as an experience using a magic hand to pick up dropped items on the tracks and trying on a children's stationmaster uniform. Additionally, by answering a survey, you can spin a capsule toy to win original goods.
