First, please enjoy the rear-view video of your favorite local train line from the selection above. The rear-view offers a relaxing visual experience of scenery slowly unfolding from the back of a local train.
Now, take a moment to imagine what the people might be feeling. Imagine, for example...
- Travelers longing to re-visit by taking a local train
- People who once took the local train to school in their younger days
- Families waiting for their children to arrive at the countryside station
and more
But perhaps---, When you re-visit next, the local train may no longer be running.
According to 'Railways in Numbers 2024,' about 80% of local railways continue to operate at a deficit (for businesses with 10 to 100 employees).

Still, there is a hope. We've launched a new kind of service to help support local train lines. Let us introduce the 'Remotetsu' (coined word of 'Remote' + 'Tetsudo', Railway in Japanese) service. This is...
- a service that allows you to virtually ride a train remotely, using a computer or similar device
- a subscription service that allows you to ride the train as much as you like, just like a monthly pass
- and the fees collected will be shared with the railway company
which means
- You can enjoy the scenery of the local train anytime
- You can help support the continuing operations of local trains
- You can once again enjoy a ride on the local train in the future
It's sad to think the train line might disappear from the map... everyone had just accepted it.
But when the 'Remotetsu' subscription service starts...!
