Maron!
Maron may be one of the most popular stationmasters in Japan, even though he only has honorary status. Commuters often make special trips to meet him, but instead of shaking hands, he may lift a paw and bark.
The 8-years-old Yorkshire terrier is honorary stationmaster of Oku-Nakayama Kogen Station operated by Iwate Galaxy Railway Co., in Ichinohemachi, Iwate Prefecture. He even wears a replica of a real stationmaster’s uniform.
The dog belongs to Yoko Motoki, 65, who works at the station. “I’m happy to see the smiling faces of the commuters,” the proud owner said in reference to the people who make a fuss over Maron.
A typical day for Maron starts at 6:30 a.m., before the arrival of the first train. Besides welcoming the day’s first commuters at the ticket gates, Maron will strike a pose with the help of his owner’s hand and salute the train driver, as if to wish the driver a safe journey for the day.
He will instinctively bark to alert Motoki when he senses people are coming to the station. The canine stationmaster also considers it his duty to patrol the station and its surroundings. In November, 1999, before the launch of the semipublic railway, Motoki worked at JR Oku-Nakayama Station, the predecessor to Oku-Nakayama Kogen Station. She said she always wanted to be with Maron, even at work. Therefore, in the following year, she started bringing her pet to the station.
