    Unfortunately Kyū-shirataki (which is the actual station shown not Kami-Shirataki; you can hear the announcement say Kyū-shirataki at 1:47) did in fact close in March 2016 after she graduated, and the station was demolished in October of that year
    But you gotta respect the fact they kept it open JUST for her, they didn't have to do that but they did. And that warms my heart. Pure humanity. Japan's railways work by the people and for the people

      One of my Japanese friends said that "In rural areas children can feel like they are needed for society so they are cherished, while the society of the city doesn't need them so they do not feel that warmth like in remote areas".

    There's no way the price of her one ticket covers the cost to run that train, even for one station. She's lucky they did that for her! Shows the compassion in humanity.

      I think the trains are passing more often than two times a day and only stop at the station for her in the morning and afternoon/evening. And probably pick up other passengers on the way.
      If the train was only picking her up it would be cheaper to pay her a taxi fare.

      True. In Germany even if we have full villages with lots of students, the bus driver comes late. And if he comes and the bus is full, he yells and says go by foot to your school. Which is maybe 15km or more far away.

      It’s complety the opposite here in the UK, trains companies essentially just don’t bother to close down any stations(even if they have say less than 50 passengers a year, and yes there are a couple) because there is an incredible amount of paperwork,legal work to decommission a station and plus it costs a lot for the trains companies to do . Also the train companies have an obligation in their contracts that they must serve the station with a service otherwise they get fined, so what they do is probably serve the station with maybe 2 trains a day just to for fill their contract so they can’t get in trouble for not providing any service

      There's a difference between a region where snow like this is normal for long periods in the winter months and a region where big snowfall that stays around for a long time is exceptional. While you can prepare for it and invest a lot of money in it, is it worth it? Maybe they could charge the train companies more so they can raise ticket prices even further.

    I did some digging and this story is incorrect and older than the 2018 post date of this video. The origin of this story (and maybe this video in itself as well) dates back to January 2016 when Chinese state broadcaster CCTV posted it on their Facebook page. But it is full of factual errors. For starters, the station is not Kami-Shirataki but Kyū-Shirataki, 2 stops down the line. There is also no evidence that they kept the station open for this student. She graduated in March of 2016 while the station, together with a few other stations on the line, was closed in October of the same year. Furthermore, according to some sources, she may not have been the only user of this station. I've found some that state that she and about 10 schoolmates used this station on a daily basis and that for the return trip they had a choice of 3 trains, the last one departing at 19:25.

      The story was incorrect the minute they showed the timetable which showed atleast 3 trains and not the 2 they keep saying. But yes, they had the station wrong, and had they closed it sooner, she was only one stop away from a station they kept open. Nice story but they definitely goofed.

    That train has a kind of familiar look to it. It reminds me of the RDCs (Rail Diesel Car) that use to run in our area between Lansdale and Allentown, PA on the Reading Railroad. They needed to run RDCs on that stretch because the electrification didn't extend beyond Lansdale from Philadelphia. That service was discontinued a long time ago.
    The last scene, kind of gets to you. Best wishes to the young lady.

    Many Japanese rail lines are closing for lack of income. Many people depend on them for survival. The city councils convince people that replacing them with bus lines is the solution but it's really easy to just shut down bus lines over night, which they do in about a year. RIP grandma and grandpa, I guess the railway workers can just become hikikomori.
