Japan’s Kishigawa Railway is run by an actual cat

I spent a day exploring the Kishigawa Railway in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. The line is famous for its "stationmaster cat", Nitama. Nitama sits in a cubicle, with a little special hat, and tourists come from across Japan and even other countries to see the spectacle. I managed to see Nitama as he started his shift one morning (no hat, though). Then I set off down the Kishigawa Line, to see the rest of it. The line includes 14 stations and is a mere nine miles long. As one of only two private railways in Wakayama Prefecture, it's a mostly rural line, with small unmanned stations amid fields of crops, ponds, shrines, and small quiet communities. I rode the trains – including its specialty cars themed with strawberries, a Tama Museum, and Chuggington – and walked between some of the stations. A lot of interesting and unexpected highlights on this peculiar little railway. Plus, lots of snow flurries in my face! 🗺️ EXTENDED AD-FREE VERSIONS →   / t1dwanderer   Support this channel on Patreon to get access to all my full-length YouTube videos, past, present, and future.
