Seibu Railway operates between western Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture. Facing an aging population and a declining birthrate, the company is working to attract visitors to the Chichibu region of Saitama Prefecture. To that end, the company has developed a new vehicle that can connect Yokohama directly to Chichibu. In addition, the company renewed Seibu-Chichibu Station and built a hot spring complex where visitors can also shop and dine. As a result, visitor numbers saw an increase of more than 1.5 million between 2012 and 2017. See Seibu Railway's strategies.
