    Railway serious incident investigation report Railway operator: Hokkaido Railway Company Accident type: Vehicle damage, railway serious incident related with malfunction, damage, destruction, etc., effecting to the safe train operation in the running gears, brake gears, electric devices, coupling devices, train protection system, etc., of the vehicle, prescribed in Number 8, Clause 1, Article 4, of the Ordinance on Report on Railway Accidents, etc. Date and time: About 23:03, January 7, 2013 Location: Around 241,362m from the origin in Takikawa station, between Tsunetoyo signal station and Kami-Atsunai station, single track, Nemuro Line, Urahoro Town, Tokachi District, Hokkaido. SUMMARY The outbound diesel limited express 4013D train, five vehicle train set named "Super Ozora", starting from Sapporo Station bound for Kushiro Station of Hokkaido Railway Co., Ltd. passed Tsunetoyo signal station 7 minutes behind the schedule, i.e., 22:54, on January 7, 2013. The train driver noticed that the door pilot lamp was turned off while driving at about 90 km/h, he applied an emergency brake and stopped the train. After the train stopped, the conductor checked the doors of the fifth vehicle, and found that the front right door opened about 30 cm. The train operation was resumed after the door had been locked and the watchman had been posted. There were 37 passengers and two crews on boarded the train, but there was no fallen passenger and no injury. PROBABLE CAUSES It is considered somewhat likely that the door was opened by the negative pressure and a jolt while the train ran in the Atsunai tunnel, because the closed door could not be held by the door open/close device in which the compressed air was not supplied due to a frozen drainage in the air pipe for closing door in the front right, fourth position, of the fifth vehicle by the low temperature of the open air, in this railway serious incident.

In 2016 a record number of tourists travelled to Japan. Numbers of visitors from India also reached new records. Many came to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima and other cities, to wonder at World Heritage sites such as Mount Fuji and the historic monuments of ancient Kyoto, and to sample washoku Japanese cuisine, an Intangible Cultural Heritage. However, as only a small number of Japanese is vegetarian, there is some concern that vegetarian visitors from India may have trouble finding places to eat during their stay in Japan. That is why we have produced this guide, with the help of Indians living in Japan, to bring together information about restaurants where Indian vegetarians can dine with peace of mind.
