Thank you for viewing. This is original merchandise from Nihongi Station on the Echigo Tokimeki Railway (Shinetsu Main Line). I purchased it at the Nihongi Station shop. The station is famous as one of the few switchback stations in Japan, and the illustration depicts that. I haven't used it even once since I bought it because I didn't want to, but it's not new as it has been stored by a private individual. Thank you for your understanding and purchase.
