Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) has announced the second collaboration campaign between its "Oshi Tabi" (Favorite Travel) program and New Japan Pro-Wrestling & STARDOM!
This time, there are plenty of exciting events planned to liven up both the New Japan Pro-Wrestling "G1 CLIMAX" and STARDOM's "5★STAR GP" league tournaments, both held this summer!
Be sure to hop on the Tokaido Shinkansen and enjoy a journey with New Japan Pro-Wrestling and STARDOM!
[Project Overview]
◆Implementation Period: June 30th (Mon) to September 30th (Tue), 2025.
Ride the Tokaido Shinkansen and enjoy the following projects via the campaign website.
<New Japan Pro-Wrestling>
① "Ace to Share a Seat" - Your Travel Companion is President Tanahashi!?
President Hiroshi Tanahashi will retire from professional wrestling on January 4, 2026. What if President Tanahashi happened to sit next to you on the Shinkansen and struck up a conversation...? This is a scenario that every pro-wrestling fan has probably imagined at least once, and it is recreated in a dialogue-style visual novel! Enjoy a pro-wrestling journey with President Tanahashi!
② A terrifying experience through spatial sound! "TRAIN OF TORTURE"
An original audio content from New Japan Pro-Wrestling's heel unit HOUSE OF TORTURE's "Oshi Tabi" series has been created! It's called "TRAIN OF TORTURE"! The terrifying experiences of commentators Haruo Murata and Miki Motoi have been recreated using spatial sound technology. Will they be able to endure this terrifying experience to the end!? A different kind of terrifying journey than "Aiseki Ace," so please enjoy this as well.

14, 2025 Second punishment (narrator: Miki Motoi): Friday, August 15, 2025 - Tuesday, September 30, 2025
