Japan’s Simulated Train Cafe – Groping Allowed

Train Cafe

The record number of women groped on Tokyo’s trains continue to rise. As the suburban trains are usually crowded, bringing the workers to large cities and back to their suburban homes, close physical contact is unavoidable. Many men use this to their advantage, pressing onto women and groping them. The groping problem is so extreme that Tokyo started a campaign of women-only carriages.

So how’s a groper supposed to get his kicks? Welcome to “Train Cafe,” a simulated train where groping is allowed just minutes away from Tokyo’s Ikebukuro station. The cost to ride is 5,000 yen (~$42US). Once each hour, Train Cafe holds an “all aboard” event, where the paying male members “board” the train together with the girls and engage in simulated ‘chikan’ (groper) play.

Each 20 minute ride allows gropers to grabs any girl’s behinds or breasts. Upskirt grabs aren’t allowed and will result in a violation. Since the girls are just normal folk that hang out at the Cafe after work, male attenders are free to ask them for a date or drink after the session has ended. Could you imagine an Amtrak version of this in the states?

    Why make such a train, just promotes more pervertedness…

  • jaebin03

    Don’t lie, u know u want to be the first on the train.

  • Rujtu

    maybe I’d be the first one on the train, but not the second, or the 59th. Who wants to board knowing what kind of freaks have been on there before you, smearing those women with whatever substances may be on their hands. . . . . . SMEGMA PERHAPS.

    Think about that while you try to enjoy your paid for molesting.

    [...] Ah those quirky Japanese… apparently Tokyo has a ‘groping’ problem aboard trains, where horny men who just can’t seem to keep their hands to themselves feel they have to rub against some female booty along the ride. To alleviate this problem, they created Japanese cartoons called Hentai, which are basically animated pornos. No wait… that’s wrong, they created the “Train Cafe“.
