According to statistics, the number of Taiwanese travelers visiting Japan last year exceeded 2.9 million, marking a record high for the third consecutive year. To celebrate, the IC Card has launched a cross-border collaboration with Japan’s Tokyu Group starting May 1. Simply present your IC Card at over 70 of the group’s shopping malls, department stores, theme parks, hotels, restaurants, shops, and Tokyu Electric Railway to enjoy discounts of over 5% or special gifts. Even ski resorts in Hokkaido and newly partnered Izu Kyuko accommodations and one-day passes come with exclusive deals or discounts.

This expanded collaboration with the IC Card includes discounts on accommodations and shopping at various Tokyu Group properties. Taiwanese travelers who purchase an Izu Kyuko one-day pass and show their IC Card will receive an original gift, enjoy discounts on the Shimoda Ropeway, and get complimentary drinks when staying or purchasing souvenirs. Other benefits include a 500-yen discount coupon for hotel shops for guests staying at HARVESTCLUB hotels. The perks even extend to ski resorts—Tokyu-operated ski areas across Hokkaido, Nagano, Fukushima, Kashiwazaki, Gunma, and Tochigi offer gondola ticket discounts or store vouchers.
