Sorry for the disagreement

Dear Users,

We are pleased to announce the complete renewal of "A Train jp" ( https://www.atrain.jp/ ), the official portal site for the urban development railroad simulation games "A-Train" series.

The site is like a terminal station where information on "A-Train" related products and projects can be found more easily, and where fun videos created by users can be gathered.

- About the renewed "A-Train jp" -

"A-Train jp" ( https://www.atrain.jp/ ), the official portal site for the "A-Train" series, is a portal site where information on the "A-Train" series is gathered. The site has recently undergone a complete renewal. We have improved the ease of use and gathering of information so that newcomers can quickly access the information they want and fans will want to visit the site again and again.

It is now easier to find products!

Added category search by platform to the "Products" page. It is now easier to find A-Train that can be played on your platform. Also, we have enhanced the product description so that you can compare products without having to jump to the official website.

A place where users' videos gathered!

Added search by product title and play style such as "Car Window" and "Urban Development" to the "Minna no Machi Video Plaza" page. It is now easier to find videos of your choice.

In conjunction with this change, we have updated the "Video Submission Guidelines" that have already been published.

Your videos may be featured on this page!? We are looking forward to your video submissions.

Enhancement of image materials and postings

We have added image materials for "A-Train 9" and "A-Train Exp." to the "Video Submission Guidelines," as well as an "Illustration Museum" and a "Wallpaper Corner" in the "Special Events" section.

You can view and download images used in the game and images that have been posted on SNS and other sites.

User Survey Started

In conjunction with the renewal, we have started a "User Questionnaire". We would like to ask all "A-Train" users to answer the questionnaire so that we can use it as a reference for future product development and promotions.
(until October 31, 2023).

We will continue to provide information on "A-Train" through this website, and we appreciate your patronage.

We are pleased to announce the winners of our recent scenario contest.

Please check the contest website for details.
https://www.atrain.jp/at-scenario/


Two entries from the Steam version also received awards.
Please give them a try!!

We want to thank all the participants.
We hope you keep enjoying playing "A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism!"

*All scenarios need to be submitted in Japanese and by users who live in Japan*

The best part of tourism planning is developing a destination by leveraging the power of the railroad to take advantage of the region's attractions. There will be as many stories of towns overcoming problems and growing as there are tourist destinations to aim for.

In "A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism," you can not only develop an existing town but also create the story of the town from scratch, from the topography that forms the foundation of the town to the thoughts of the people involved in its development.

In this scenario contest, we are looking for scenarios with the theme of "a sightseeing spot with a problem" that is filled with the possibilities of such a story.

We are looking forward to receiving your powerful scenarios filled with your passion for urban development!

Monday, March 13, 2023 - Wednesday, May 31, 2023 (JST)
Entries received after the end of the application period will not be considered.

"Tourist Attraction with a Problem."
Just as the attractions of unexplored hot spring towns and remote islands surrounded by nature...... vary from tourist destination to tourist destination, the types of problems they face also vary.
In this contest, we are calling for scenarios with potential for development based on the theme of "tourist attractions with problems."

50,000 yen (6 winners)
The amount may be increased or decreased depending on the entries.

For more information, please check the contest website.

The "A Train" x "Sightseeing" will "expand" even further!
"A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism" has been upgraded to "Vistas Abound" and now you can play through this title with even more possibilities!

As the president of a railroad company, the player extends the tracks, develops the infrastructure, and transports many people. By doing so, the city grows, and the company's revenue increases.

It is up to you to decide how to develop the city as the company grows.
Why don't you create the future of the city with "A-Train"?

There are three key points of the "Vistas Abound."

With the addition of actual sightseeing trains, bullet trains, etc. from all over Japan, "Railroad Cars" will expand!!!

New sightseeing buildings, stalls, signs that represent the bustle of the city, and "Railroad Museum," where you can display your favorite trains, will expand city development!

You can share your original train cars or just the topography of your city online, and even process the scenery of your city. You can also share your original train cars, share only the terrain of your city online, and process the scenery of your city with the "Photo Mode" to expand the circle of the A train!
