A special campaign is underway where you can earn ICOCA points back when you depart from or arrive at “Sakura Shukugawa,” “Nishinomiya,” or “Koshien” on the Kobe Line and shop or dine at stations along the way.
Here it is↓
It runs until February 28.
Here’s how it works↓
For example… it would go something like this
Take the train from Koshienguchi Station
Head out to Sannomiya for fun
On the way back, go from JR Sannomiya to Ashiya Station
At Super YAMASHO inside Ashiya Station
Pay with ICOCA for items like “Itotome no Botamochi,” the drinkable botamochi featured on Matsuko no Shiranai Sekai that we also covered on Nishitsu.
Return to Koshienguchi.
If you spend at least 1 yen at a designated shop in Ashiya, you’ll get 100 points back.
List of eligible shops for stopovers↓
Shops marked with a ★ offer a total of 200 points back when you spend 1,000 yen or more.
Campaign period
Tuesday, January 10, 2022 – Tuesday, February 28
Campaign details
Customers who use ICOCA and meet both of the following conditions on the same day will receive ICOCA points back (150 points per time).

Anyway, it looks like you’ll need to download JR West’s official travel and lifestyle navigation app, “WESTER”♪
