Spanning almost the entire length of Japan, this notebook carried the will and determination of train fans, bringing them together in a very special way.
Times have changed over the years, but one particular offence has steadily climbed its way up the list.
Let a ride on the “Medetai Train”–“Joyous Train”–lift your spirits as we soar into summer!
Netizens collectively facepalm and shake their heads after finding out the root of the problem.
The app connects expectant mothers looking for empty seats with passengers wanting to relinquish theirs.
Rock to the beat of station names and level up your knowledge of Japan’s railway system while you’re at it.
The story of an old man and a student whose only connection was taking the same train every morning has gone viral in Japan.
This has to be the cutest excuse for a train delay we’ve ever seen involving a train driver, a dog, and a cookie.
Apparently people in Japan are finding it harder and harder not to assault their friendly neighborhood train station staff as incidents of assault are on the rise.
At a first glance, you’d probably be hard pressed to figure out what this poster is promoting, but that may be the genius of it.
The Evangelion Shinkansen opened its doors in November. Modeled after Unit-01, the inside has a cockpit simulator, dioramas, and enough beer to get Misato drunk.
Drunken revellers, rejoice! This festive season you can snooze past your train stop all you like—the rescue bus has got you covered!
The unfortunate incident occurred on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line in Tokyo and ended with the government employee’s arrest.
Riding the Shinkansen in Japan is always a fun experience. Not only does it go super-fast (you can totally feel those G-forces!), it’s also guaranteed to be quiet and incredibly clean. But with 323 Shinkansen trains departing from Tokyo every day, how do they find the time to clean all those trains?
Well, it turns out that it takes a highly synchronised team of mega-efficient cleaners only seven minutes to clean each train – since that’s all the time they have!. And here’s an incredible video of how they do it!
Given the size and longevity of the adult entertainment industry, it’s safe to say that such products serve a purpose in societies everywhere. However, one purpose for which adult videos should never be used is as travel guides for visiting other countries.
You might think that would be common sense but apparently we can’t stress the point enough after there has been a recent spate of molestation committed by foreign tourists who claim to have thought it was normal behavior in Japan after watching Japanese adult videos.
