Gokan Station 100th Anniversary Event

About this event

JR Joetsu Line Gokan Station will celebrate its 100th anniversary of opening on November 20, 2026. To commemorate this milestone, a commemorative event will be held at Gokan Station on November 21. On that day, a performance by the Minakami Town Minakami Junior High School Brass Band and an appearance by Tsukki, the mascot character of Tsukiyono Firefly Village, will enliven the venue. Free hands-on activities will include stationmaster uniform dress-up, ticket punching, and departure bell switch operation. Putting on the stationmaster uniform for commemorative photos and experiencing vintage ticket gate operations provide rare and special opportunities. In addition, followers of the official JR East Gunma and Kumagaya Branch SNS accounts will receive a perk allowing one spin on a capsule toy machine. As a paid experience event, the operation of the special train 'Gokan Station 100th Anniversary Celebration Express' is also planned, with details available on JRE MALL Ticket Gunma Branch. Why not celebrate the 100-year history of Gokan Station and spend a special day at this commemorative event?
