(With serial number)
JAL, Mine City, and the Ministry of Justice will begin selling 100 limited original cards (with serial numbers) that can be used as a premium free pass for Akiyoshi-do starting December 10, 2024 (Tuesday) at 10:00 AM.
In 2020, employees from JAL and the Ministry of Justice were dispatched to Mine City as part of the "Regional Revitalization Project" aimed at utilizing tourism resources and recovering the number of tourists who decreased due to the pandemic. This initiative was commercialized through a manufacturing project with local companies in Mine City, starting in the fiscal year 2023, under the cooperation of JAL Engineering.
This card is made from the same material as aircraft engines and firewalls, which is Titanium. The surface was processed by a local business in Mine City (M.I.W), while JAL Engineering handled the back side. The Ministry of Justice collaborated by producing PR posters and catchphrases for the card at the Mine Social Reintegration Promotion Center's vocational training program, achieving new manufacturing.
The surface design was created by Kubo Shu, a globally renowned paper cut artist and the hometown exchange ambassador of Mine City, depicting the scenery of Akiyoshido, a famous sightseeing spot in Mine City. The back side features the silhouette of a Boeing 737-800 operating between Tokyo (Haneda) and Yamaguchi Ube.
