(operated by Kurobe Gorge Railway Co., Ltd., located in Kurobe City, Toyama Prefecture, President and CEO: Toshishige Suzuki) will begin boarding and alighting at Nekomata Station for a limited time from October 5th. “Nekomata Station” is said to be the only station in Japan with “neko” in its name. Taking this opportunity, our company has decided to implement a project to appoint a cat as an “honorary assistant” in order to spread the word about “Nekomata Station”. In this project, customers recommend their beloved cats (send photos), and we will issue (present) an “appointment letter” and a “tin badge” with a photo of their beloved cat. This “appointment letter” and “tin badge” will be posted on the second floor of Unazuki Station, and the recommended customer will be asked to take them home after boarding the trolley train. I’m sure the cute appearance of your beloved cat as an “honorary assistant” will be a great souvenir. (*)This season, due to the effects of the 2020 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, we are running a return service between Unazuki Station and Nekomata Station. Nekomata Station is normally a station where the general public cannot get on and off the train, but a new platform has been built for passengers to get on and off from October 5th. “Nekomata Station Honorary Assistant” Appointment Project [Implementation guidelines] 1.
