Nitama - Japanese Cat Station Master

In the mid-2000s the Kishigawa Line in rural Wakayama was facing financial difficulties due to a lack of passengers. Kishi Station was slated for demolition until locals resisted. In 2007 a stray calico cat adopted by a local shop owner was named station manager. This was Tama and she soon became a sensation bring in people from all around to see her. Over time she was awarded many honors for helping save the train line and station becoming even an executive of Wakayama Electric Rail and eventual its Honorary President for Life. Sadly, Tama passed away in 2015 at the august age of 16. She was succeeded by her apprentice Nitama who now takes on the duties of greeting visitors. These are scenes from when I was in Wakayama several years ago.
