One railway knows how to generate some good PR:KINOKAWA, Wakayama — A 7-year-old cat called Tama has been named a special stationmaster at a railway station here by the local Wakayama Electric Railway.[...]
Two other cats were named deputy stationmasters at the same Kishi Station on the Kishigawa Line in Kinokawa. Stationmaster Tama, wearing a railway cap, and two other cats often welcome passengers at unmanned Kishi Station.
The operator of the shop at the station has been keeping the three cats. Wakayama Electric Railway officials will give cat food to them as a reward for their “work.”

Stationmaster Cat Draws Tourists

[...]Tama won nationwide popularity with the publication of a book of photos featuring her and intensive media coverage after she was appointed in 2007 as stationmaster of the unmanned station on Wakayama Electric Railway’s Kishigawa Line, which runs between cities of Wakayama and Kinokawa.[...]
As a result, the number of passengers using the Kishigawa Line increased dramatically.
The railway company recognized the “efforts” of the 8-year-old cat and promoted the cat to division chief-level in January.
The company also expressed its appreciation of the cat’s role in drumming up business by transforming a ticket window into the stationmaster’s office.
In her 1.8-square-meter office equipped with a ventilation fan and a toilet, Tama looked relaxed and satisfied.
