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 this, the EasyCard has launched a cross-border collaboration with Japan’s Tokyu Group starting May 1. With an EasyCard, you can enjoy over 5% discounts or special gifts at more than 70 shopping malls, department stores, theme parks, hotels, restaurants, shops, and Tokyu Electric Railway within the group. Even ski resorts in Hokkaido and accommodations and one-day passes from Izukyu Railway—new partners—are included in the special offers.

This expanded collaboration with the EasyCard includes various accommodation and shopping benefits under the Tokyu Group. Taiwanese travelers who purchase an Izukyu One-Day Pass and show their EasyCard will receive an original gift, enjoy discounts on the Shimoda Ropeway, and get complimentary drinks when staying or purchasing local specialties. Other benefits include a 500-yen discount coupon for shops at HARVESTCLUB hotels. The perks even extend to ski resorts—EasyCard holders can enjoy gondola ticket discounts or store vouchers at Tokyu-operated ski resorts across Hokkaido, Nagano, Fukushima, Kashiwazaki, Gunma, and Tochigi.
