An annoyed Japanese man has sabotaged a luxury excursion train popular with tourists with thousands of false bookings. As Japanese media reported Wednesday, the 48-year-old unemployed had reserved the so-called Romancecar, which connects Tokyo to popular destinations such as Hakone on Mount Fuji, about 9,300 times online within nine months with no intention of buying anything. the.
Passengers should book the “Limited Express Romancecar” before departure, with an observation deck at the front or back of the train being particularly desirable. A guest disturbed him there once, but the staff did nothing about it, giving the man as the reason for his sabotage. He counts himself among Japan’s many train fans and loves the “Romancecar”.
Bookings made under his name
Because the booking system automatically cancels a seat reservation if the ticket is not paid 15 minutes before departure, operator Odakyu Electric Railway has always been able to sell the seat to someone else at the last minute. The man made all bookings online on his smartphone under his name. Police are now investigating him for fraudulently obstructing business activities.
