Japanese Train Stops at Remote Station Twice a Day For One Passenger

 

Kami-Shirataki, a remote train station in Japan that was meant to close down three years ago, has stayed active to cater to one lone passenger. A train makes stops at the station twice each day just so a teen can travel to and from high school.

According to reports, Kana Harada, who is among the 40-odd residents of the village of Shirataki, is the only person to board the special train at 7:04 am and return in the evening at 5:08 pm sharp.

Even though the train station was meant to shut down, Japan Railways decided to continue services just for Kana.
