JR East Trials Goats for Weed Control at Tokyo Station Yotsuya
Brand Buffet
Key summary
JR East, a major Japanese railway operator, has begun a trial using two goats to remove weeds at the Yotsuya station in Tokyo. The project started on October 9, 2026, and is scheduled to continue until the end of December 2026. The goats, named Nagi-kun and Pokke-chan, offer a quiet alternative to noisy machinery for maintaining green spaces. This method has previously been used in other locations in Japan, such as solar power plants. The trial aims to attract public interest while managing vegetation without disturbing the surrounding community.
