The Pokemon Stamp Rally happens once a year in Tokyo, usually during August. It consists of many stations throughout Japan offering a certain Pokemon stamp that can only be collected at that station. You start the rally with a stamp book that has many open spaces for you to use each stamp, the book also has a map in it that tells you where you can find each Pokemon stamp!
Due to this event being held by JR, all the stamps will be found at JR stations. To collect all stamps you will have to travel around Tokyo, which can be super fun to discover new places along the way!
