Environmentally friendly stations

The Higashi-Kitazawa, Shimo-Kitazawa, and Setagaya-Daita Stations are equipped with solar-power-generating systems, skylights, light ducts, and geothermal heat pump systems to reduce their impact on the environment. Going forward, we will work to construct environmentally friendly stations which fit the areas in which they are built.

Recycling PET bottles at stations

With the cooperation of our customers in recycling caps and labels, we recycle used PET bottles into new PET bottles for beverages. We hope to improve the recycling cycle and make effective use of limited global resources.

Conversion to digital tickets

We are implementing digital tickets that can be purchased with a smartphone, with the smartphone itself becoming the ticket. In addition to allowing people to purchase tickets without waiting in line at a ticket window, this system will produce less waste than conventional paper tickets.

The natural scenery of Hakone

The Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park has been chosen by the Ministry of the Environment as an area that they hope will become a world-class travel destination at which travelers from around the world will want to stay for extended periods. Great efforts are being made to revitalize the region's natural resources and traditional local culture.
