The JR East guide hid the Russian language but it was said to be discrimination and returned
From the 7th of this month, JR East has been hiding the Russian characters on the signboard at Ebisu Station in Tokyo with paper.
On the signboard, ”Nakameguro” and ”Roppongi” were written in Russian to guide people on the subway.
The company explained that after Russia launched an attack on Ukraine, people using the station said, ”I feel uncomfortable when I see the signboard,” and hid it.
However, many people objected that hiding leads to discrimination on the Internet etc.
For this reason, the company decided to return the signboard as before from the 15th.
JR East said, ”I thought it would be better to return the sign after listening to the opinions of those who opposed it.
