West Japan Railway Company (JR West) has announced a campaign where customers can receive a 20% bonus when exchanging 'Hirogin Points,' provided by The Hiroshima Bank, for WESTER Points (Basic). Additionally, Hiroshima Bank will launch a fixed-deposit campaign that grants points in addition to interest. Exchanging Hirogin Points for WESTER Points allows users to access services such as riding the Sanyo Shinkansen at half the usual point cost. The campaign will run in two phases: the first from June 18, 2026, to October 15, 2026, and the second from December 1, 2026, to January 29, 2027. There is no limit on the number of points that can be exchanged, starting from 100 points. Further details will be available on the WESTER portal on June 1, 2026.
