JR West to Operate Direct Trains from Shin-Osaka to Sakurajima Station for Expo Access Route
Tokyo Metro will change the operation of its internal dress code rules for station staff and train crew starting May 1.
In addition to extending the period for wearing summer uniforms, the wearing of ties will be optional year-round. Hair can be dyed to brighter colors, and accessories and nails can be chosen within a range that does not interfere with duties, with the standards being gender-neutral. Besides leather shoes, dark-colored sneakers will be allowed.
The purpose of these changes is to create a comfortable working environment for employees that can flexibly respond to recent climate changes and societal shifts. The revisions aim to abolish gender-specific standards, respect diversity, and allow staff to select reliable grooming options within the specified guidelines.
