All aboard the cutest stationery trend of the year! 🚉🐧

Earlier this year, JR East released a pair of adorable Suica Penguin goodies that quickly became must-haves for stationery collectors and travel fans alike. Inspired by classic Japanese train tickets, these items are packed with nostalgia, charm, and a whole lot of penguin personality. If you haven’t picked them up yet, you might want to punch your (paper) ticket soon—because they’re still making waves in the world of kawaii stationery! 🎟️✏️

🎫 Ticket-Style Magnets: Small But Mighty

Let’s rewind to February 14, 2025—Valentine’s Day, when TRAINIART, JR East’s specialty train-themed goods store, launched the Suica Penguin Ticket Magnets. Each one costs just ¥800 (tax included) and comes in two fun designs:

🧢 Suica Penguin dressed as a station master
🎒 Suica Penguin ready for adventure as a traveler

These magnets are shaped like vintage train tickets and measure a tiny-but-perfect 3 cm x 5.75 cm. Whether you're decorating your fridge or creating a train-themed memo board, these penguin pals make everything more fun.

They’ve been a popular souvenir choice for visitors in Tokyo and a great pick for train lovers who also happen to adore cute stationery. 🚂✨
