okyo Metro Safety Poster – “Rushing Is Dangerous”
A safety poster inside a Tokyo Metro station warns passengers not to rush onto closing trains. Tokyo’s subway operators, including Tokyo Metro and Toei, use a mix of mascots and bold graphic styles to discourage last-second boarding, which remains one of the most common causes of platform accidents and door malfunctions. These posters are typically placed on or near platform screen doors, which have been installed progressively across the network since the early 2000s to reduce injuries and improve train-dwell consistency. The messaging reflects Japan’s broader public-transportation safety culture: preventing delays, protecting passengers, and maintaining precise headways in some of the most heavily used rail corridors in the world. This particular design features a cartoon warning style common in Metro stations along lines such as the Marunouchi, Yamanote interchanges, and the Keisei connection points at Ueno and Nippori.
