<p>The record number of women groped on Tokyo&#8217;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.  </p>
<p>So how&#8217;s a groper supposed to get his kicks?  Welcome to &#8220;Train Cafe,&#8221; a simulated train where groping is allowed just minutes away from Tokyo&#8217;s Ikebukuro station. The cost to ride is 5,000 yen (~$42US).  Once each hour, Train Cafe holds an &#8220;all aboard&#8221; event, where the paying male members &#8220;board&#8221; the train together with the girls and engage in simulated &#8216;chikan&#8217; (groper) play.  </p>
<p>Each 20 minute ride allows gropers to grabs any girl&#8217;s behinds or breasts.  Upskirt grabs aren&#8217;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?</p>
