I’m the image character for the E657-series limited express trains on the Joban Line operated by JR East’s Mito Branch Office. That’s why my name is “Mukona (657)”! Please come visit Ibaraki and Fukushima on the increasingly convenient Joban Line, following the opening of the Ueno-Tokyo Line in March 2015, nya.
