Скачать или смотреть Ekitag: collect digital stamps at railway stations across Japan - BON BON SHOW: Episode 18

In Episode 18 of the Bon Bon Show, hosts Kirk and Aaron dive into the world of Ekitag, a new app taking Japan's collecting culture by storm. Discover how you can turn your daily commute or Japan travels into a digital treasure hunt by collecting "Eki stamps" (station stamps) right on your smartphone.

Kirk shares his experience using the app around Tokyo, explaining how to find the NFC spots at JR stations, the difference between physical and digital stamps, and the surprising local history you can learn from each unique design (like why Shinjuku’s stamp features chili peppers!).

Whether you're a die-hard densha otaku (train geek) or just looking for a fun, space-saving souvenir for your next trip to Japan, this episode covers everything you need to know about starting your Ekitag collection.
