My eki stamping is chaotic as I was trying to cover a lot of places and was running around to do as much as in a short amount of time. 

This started when I was in Taoyuan Airport, where I came across a small airport museum about “Pili” puppet show. There were 6 character stamps. 

After that, I filled the book from Chiba, Tokyo, Nagoya (no train stamps), Osaka, Shinkansen stations to Himeji.

I also came across tourist information center stamps, 88 Anime location stamps and other memorial stamps. 

I did get some JR stations on the Yamanote line, later, I got more and even repeated them. In the future, I might do another round of Yamanote line with a Yamanote line dedicated eki stamp book. 

I made a lot of mistakes and learned that some stamps can be dry/ too much bleeding, size limitations and align/angle. Also how to stamping on the backside pages need to be flat. 

I also realized that I can’t have “perfect” and again, the way I was stamping, would be unorganized and chaotic. I definitely learned a lot and accepted that as well.
