Participation Driven by the Desire to Support Local Railways

Our company has applied for and signed a contract for the secondary station name naming rights at Mino-Ōta Station on the Nagaragawa Railway.

Nagaragawa Railway is set to debut a new train, "Nagara 603," in spring 2026, and is actively working on initiatives to increase awareness and revitalize the local community.

We believe that local railways, as community-based public transportation, play a vital role in supporting residents' daily lives, the regional economy, and tourism. Motivated by our desire to support local railways and contribute, even in a small way, to their sustainable development and regional revitalization, we applied for and secured the secondary station name naming rights.

Going forward, we will continue to value our connection with local communities and contribute to regional development through various initiatives.

The Vision of Tetsudohonpo

Our company operates its buying business with the mission of:

"Rescuing Valuable Items" and "Helping You Pursue Your Passion."

Railway parts, old tickets, and railway models are precious collectibles for railway enthusiasts, yet many are discarded without proper recognition of their value.

Before thinking, "This can only be thrown away," we hope people will first consider consulting Tetsudohonpo.

We aim to create that initial spark of awareness.

The philosophy of Tetsudohonpo—"rescuing valuable items and passing them on"—resonates with our current initiative to connect locally rooted railways to the future.

We hope that acquiring these naming rights will serve as one way to support Nagaragawa Railway and help more people discover the charm of railways.

Future Outlook: Aiming for a Win-Win-Win for Railways, Communities, and Businesses

Through this partnership, the railway company will gain new revenue, while our company will expand its recognition among railway fans and local residents, supporting business growth.

Through this positive cycle, we aim to contribute to job creation, tax contributions, and ultimately, the sustainable operation of local railways—realizing a win-win-win situation for railways, communities, and businesses.

Tetsudohonpo will continue to promote initiatives that create value for railways, communities, and businesses alike, and under the philosophy of "win-win-win," we will carry forward the value of railway culture into the future.

About Tetsudohonpo

Tetsudohonpo is a specialty store that buys and sells railway models, parts, old tickets, railway documents, and railway-related goods.

We value passing on these items not merely as secondhand goods, but as culturally valuable items filled with history and sentiment to their next owners.

"I'm not sure if this can be sold."

"I can't judge whether it has value."

"I think I have no choice but to throw it away."

If you have any railway-related items like these, please consult us.

Our mission at Tetsudohonpo is to identify valuable items and bridge them to their next rightful owners.

"Rescue Valuable Items!"

Under this mission, we will continue to carry forward the value of railway culture into the future.
