Special IC Card “Suica” commemorating the centennial of Tokyo Station’s opening

Random thoughts

Tokyo Station celebrated the centenary on December 20th, 2014.
And they sold its special “Suica” commemorating the centennial.
Originally, it was planned to be sold a total of 15,000 pieces.
BUT, on the day of the sale, Tokyo Station soon became so crowded and chaotic
so JR East had to suspend the sale.
And finally, they decided to sell it to all those who want to buy
through the Internet or mail.
Eventually, the sales reached five million pieces.
And then, finally in last December when the end of the year was approaching,
it also arrived at my house.
Anyway, indeed, the design is chic and nice, isn’t it?
It has a board art too with Tokyo Station’s timeline. (H.S)
