Introduction
Japan Rail East started this vegetable garden business on Tokyo train stations out of a desire to contribute to the environmental maintenance and revitalize area along the train line. Now there are thirteen stations around the country with operating gardens. There are also plans to build community gardens on top of or near each stations in Japan soon. The farm is open to anyone, not matter if they’re skilled gardeners or not. People can rent a three-square meter garden which include tools and gardening equipment. The farms are popular recreational spaces for families.
