About "TRAIN SELECT SHOP - Tetsu-Oshi!"

"TRAIN SELECT SHOP - Tetsu-Oshi!" (https://tetsuoshi.kotsu.co.jp) is a new specialty railway goods e-commerce site that opened in April 2026 as a platform for purchasing goods produced by railway companies nationwide in a one-stop shop. It began by handling goods related to the enduringly popular "Railway Musume" series. Moving forward, we plan to gradually expand the number of participating railway companies and aim to revitalize the entire railway industry by serving as a new bridge connecting railway fans nationwide with local railways.
