5. D&S Train Keychain — ¥2,400 (tax included)
A keychain that lines up every one of JR Kyushu's D&S (Design & Story) trains. It is normally sold only on board D&S trains such as the "Limited Express Yufuin no Mori" and "Limited Express Aso Boy!", but it has been specially prepared for this event. The trains are arranged in order of when they began operation, so the keychain also lets you feel the history of the D&S trains.

Magnets of Kuro-chan, normally sold only on board, will be available. Each pack contains one of 8 types of Kuro-chan in various poses, chosen at random. A secret Kuro-chan may be hiding among them. Try your luck and see which Kuro-chan you get.

The picture book tells "Tsubame's Great Adventure" (つばめの大冒険), the story of a Kyushu Shinkansen Tsubame train damaged in the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake traveling by sea from Kumamoto to Hakata. The picture book comes in a mini-size keychain format that you can carry anywhere.
8. Teddy Bear Made from Rare Sample Fabric (Limited to 1) — ¥550,000 (tax included)
A one-of-a-kind teddy bear made from rare fabric produced as a sample. Because the fabric is unlikely to appear on the market in the future and the same fabric cannot be made again, this bear is a special piece of which only one exists. On its chest is a charm with an original design that Eiji Mitooka created for "Beatrix Fabrica," adding a refined presence.
9. Teddy Bear in a Conductor's Uniform (Limited to 3) — ¥165,000 (tax included)
The bear wears a uniform tailored from an actual conductor's uniform that was taken apart and remade for a teddy bear. The buttons used on the uniform's sleeves have also been carried over to the bear's uniform. The bear itself is made from unused seat fabric. Combining materials with different backgrounds, the unused seat fabric and the conductor's uniform that served on the railway front line, through the hands of skilled artisans, this special bear lets you feel the memories of the railway.
