Small acts of kindness are simple, thoughtful and often leave a positive impact on others. Recently, in a heartwarming display of care and precision, Japan’s train workers were praised for their exceptional assistance to specially-abled passengers.
The clip shows a Japanese chikatetsu (metro) staff member helping a wheelchair-bound woman disembark from the train smoothly and without any hassle.
Japanese Metro Staff Helps Passenger
The video shared on Instagram begins with the staff member, dressed in his uniform, standing patiently for the train gates to open. As soon as it opens, he expertly positions a ramp to align with the train car door, ensuring a smooth and safe transition.
Later on, a woman, seated on a wheelchair inside the train, deboarded without any difficulty and bowed down to the official, as a sign of respect in Japan. The metro official then reassembled the ramp, making a clear way for other passengers. This dedication to detail reflects Japan’s commitment to accessibility and public service.
The video caption reads, “I noticed someone waiting patiently at a specific train car in Japan. Found they are here to assist specially-abled passengers: with exact car timing and route coordination. Respect, precision and care, this is how Japan rolls.”
‘Impressive culture,’ Says Internet
The clip has left the internet impressed, prompting many to share their reactions. An Instagram user commented, “What I realised when I went to Japan is that that’s how a country runs when you really care about other people, so much that you want to make their lives easier. They’re not that warm, but very polite, very respectful of boundaries, and give the best service. In terms of hospitality, Japan really left a good impression on me, and I am an Indonesian.”
Another one commented, “Impressive culture.” One of them shared, “Japan is a very great place.” A comment reads, “That’s why education is important; unfortunately, Western countries are far, far behind Japan.”
“The reason why Japan is the most civilised nation,” wrote a user.
Japan is renowned for its unique and profound commitment to hospitality, known as omotenashi. This spirit represents selfless, mindful, and friendly service that goes beyond standard customer care, aiming to provide guests with a deeply emotional and comfortable experience.
