[JR Central] Piyorin 15th Anniversary Project: Kachigawa Station, Home of Piyorin, to be Decorated!

The chick-shaped dessert 'Piyorin', produced by JR Tokai Food Service of the JR Central Group, will mark its 15th anniversary on July 1. The group is conducting various projects, such as the release of 'Piyorin TOICA', to celebrate the milestone.

As part of this celebration, the company will decorate Kachigawa Station on the Chuo Main Line—the gateway to the town where Piyorin is created—with illustrations starting July 1 to express gratitude to customers.

◆ Decorations at Kachigawa Station Under the tracks near Kachigawa Station (Kasugai City, Aichi) lies 'Piyorin Atelier', the sole production facility. The adjacent 'Piyorin Shop Atelier Store' attracts many visitors daily.

The decoration aims to promote the fact that Piyorin is 'born' right there at Kachigawa Station, making it more familiar to station users.
