The Hanshin Electric Railway’s Akado-sha trains, which recently retired to much regret, have now appeared in the form of a vending machine at Mukogawadanchi-mae Station on the Hanshin Mukogawa Line.
This is Mukogawadanchi-mae Station.
There is a vending machine in front of the ticket gates.
Several vending machines are lined up, and the one on the far right is designed like an Akado-sha train.
Here it is.
It has been recreated quite faithfully.
Apparently, when you insert coins, it plays the automated announcements that used to be heard on the Akado-sha trains.
We also filmed a video of actually putting money into it.
