Sometimes, after a long day of napping and begging for treats, a cat’s just gotta get out of the house. And what better way to get around than by Japan’s famously on-time and impeccably clean railway? If you’re still walking or taking taxis to your desired destination, take a lesson from these street-smart felines and hop on a train!
The most recent instance of a scene straight out of Ghibli’s Whisper of the Heart was uploaded to Twitter on November 8:
▼ “Odakyu Line, a cat got on at Tōkaidaigaku-mae Station.”
https://twitter.com/shun1_ocean/status/531285870112825344But it seems cats riding the rails isn’t as extraordinary as you’d think. Here are a few more from Japan!
▼ “There’s a cat sitting next to me
…….it’s so unbelievably cute.
in the train”
▼ “This cat is going on an outing from Funaoka Station.”
https://twitter.com/OBAKO3408/status/476693989886668800When asked what the orange tabby was up to on the train, this Twitter user uploaded a follow up photo:
▼ “Now he’s looking like this lol”
https://twitter.com/OBAKO3408/status/476694383442407424▼ “A cat just got on the train lol
Is that allowed? lol”

This last cat isn’t quite riding the train, but he’s still cute!
▼ “Every day this cat sits on the bench waiting for the train (he never gets on though)”
