Unexplored Nuances in the Lives of Contemporary Japanese Women That Will Leave You In Awe!
All Aboard the Pinkie Train
Hop aboard Japan’s exclusive “Women First” express! Amid the hustle and bustle of Tokyo’s rush hour, Japan introduced women-only carriages on trains in a bid to give women a break from the unwanted attention and tight squeezes of the city’s packed trains.
This “pink” zone ensures a smoother and more comfortable ride. However, during non-peak hours, these carriages swing their doors open for everyone, including little boys, as long as female guardians accompany them. So, if you’re journeying in Japan and stumble upon a sea of women in one carriage, you’re not witnessing a secret society—just Japan’s thoughtful approach to commuter comfort!
