Question

Why did Hokkaido Railway Co. keep Kyu-Shirataki station open even though there were hardly any passengers using it​

Answer 1

Hokkaido Railway Co. kept Kyu-Shirataki station open even though there were hardly any passengers using it , because a single girl student was boarding the train from the platform.

• This reflects the importance Japan gives to education of girl child. Japan authority's wanted the girl to complete her education without any hassle.

• That's why they kept the the station open so that the student could get on the train and reach the destination and again come back to home.

• The station was kept open until the girl completed her graduation after which the authorities officially declared the station to be closed.
