A couple named Yuta and Ryoko, accompanied by two dogs, visited all 1,204 roadside stations (michinoeki) across Japan. They traveled in a light vehicle (kei car), taking weekend trips and sleeping in the car. According to sources, the journey took 600 days and required careful timing of station hours — they had to revisit some stations on weekdays to complete their stamp collection.
