40% of Those Who Have Not Participated in Railway Events Are "Interested"! "Vehicle Depot Openings and Factory Tours" Top the List of Interesting Events

Survey on interest and participation in railway events and experiences

Railways are a familiar presence that supports our daily commute.

In recent years, the number of "participatory" projects such as opening vehicle depots to the public, driving experiences, and photography sessions has increased. Opportunities to see, touch, and feel the charm of railways more closely are expanding.

So, among those who are interested in railways, how many are actually interested in events and experiences, and what kind of content are they attracted to?

Therefore, in collaboration with Tetuhiro (Railway Hiroba), we conducted a survey on "railway events and experiences" targeting 180 men and women nationwide who answered "interested in railways" in a preliminary survey.
