Nex-area Company Limited

Starting July 1 2024, NEXCO EAST (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) and Nex-area Company Limited (Minato-ku, NEXCO EAST) will be holding a summer vacation-only digital stamp rally in collaboration with "Hapidanbui," a unit made up of six characters from Sanrio Co., Ltd. that are hugely popular with children and adults alike, at designated service areas (SA) and parking areas (PA) under the jurisdiction of NEXCO East Japan.
The first 20,000 customers who collect stamps will receive original goods at the SA/PA, and 150 people will be drawn for luxurious "Hapidanbu" prizes. In commemoration of the stamp rally, there will also be shopping campaigns at shops and events where you can meet "Hapidanbu" at SA/PA.
By collaborating with a character that is popular across a wide range of generations, we aim to attract more customers to stop by SA and PA.
Why not take this opportunity to enjoy a detour to SA and PA in an attempt to complete your stamp collection?

What is Happy Danby?

Six boys with unique personalities - Pochacco, Tuxedo Sam, Kerokerokeroppi, Bad Badtz-Maru, Hangyodon, and Pekkle the Duck - have formed a unit called "Happy Danby", which means "boys who want to be happy and aim for a V-shaped recovery."
The message is "It's okay! Just be yourself and I'm sure you'll do well," and it aims to make everyone a little happier through various challenges.
