Conquering the Pokémon Stamp Rally in One Day!

I tried doing the JR East Pokémon Stamp Rally for all stations in a single day, but it was incredibly exhausting...
・In one day
・Without buying the stamp book (special edition)
・Without using private railways
I feel like I might be the only one who has cleared all 36 stations?

First of all, I'll start by purchasing the "Nonbiri Holiday Suica Pass" for 2,850 yen. Since the stamps are located outside the ticket gates at all but one station, you'll be in big trouble if you don't buy a day pass!!

I did a rough simulation in my head and attacked it in the order of Kanagawa → Tokyo → Saitama → Ibaraki → Chiba.
Considering that the start and goal are in Chiba, and that I had to go to Oimachi after 11:30 AM after collecting 6 stamps, I feel like this is the best route.

I managed to clear it in about 17 and a half hours ^_^

↓ Here are a few points I noticed!

・The stamp for Musashi-Kosugi is located at the Nambu Line exit, so if you go from the Yokosuka Line or Shonan-Shinjuku Line, you'll be made to walk a lot. It took about 10 minutes even for me, who is known for walking at lightning speed, to walk slowly. By the way, I went via the Shonan-Shinjuku Line and returned via the Nambu Line.

・The way to pass through Shin-Urayasu is tricky. If you try to aim for it from Tokyo, you'll be made to walk for transfers again. I saw people who came all at once on the Musashino Line from Koshigaya-Laketown or Shin-Matsudo, or used the secret trick of transferring at Yurakucho. I passed through by going Nishi-Funabashi → Shin-Urayasu → Nishi-Funabashi.

・Only Haneda Airport Terminal 2 has the stamp inside the ticket gate. If you return to Hamamatsucho without exiting the gate here, you'll get stuck at the gate. It just adds work for the station staff, so it's better to exit the gate at Haneda for a moment even if you don't have any business there.

・As for the day pass, you can use it until the last train even if the date changes. Much appreciated.

Although it was a weekday, I was a little worried, but I didn't have to wait in line at all. The longest wait was about 3 minutes at Oimachi (prize exchange). Let's go on a weekday.

I have business to go "outside" the ticket gates at Tokyo Station next week, so I'll officially finish and receive my prize.
