The Campaign

Since they do not have such famous tourist spots along the railway line, they decided to use the scenery for branding instead. They introduced the new charm of the area with the nicknames, “MIST-ery Train” for the rail on mountainside and “Sea train” on seaside.

Creative Execution

The railroad which runs in the Japanese old town called Kyoto.So I expressed a railroad, fog, the sea?by?using a Japanese old culture "stamp,"I made an icon of the one and only and planned other companies and differentiation.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The sales of a half year are the 140% achievement compared with the previous year after launch.

Kyoto is very popular with beautiful temples and shrines. However this relabeling has shown?other charms of Kyoto, beautiful fog and views of ocean.
