On March 31, 2025, an emotional moment unfolded for railway enthusiasts and locals alike as the curtain closed on an important part of Japan's rail network — the Shin-Keisei Electric Railway. This video captures the poignant final onboard announcement heard aboard the last Shin-Keisei Line train, departing from Keisei-Tsudanuma Station and arriving at Kunugiyama Station.

The Shin-Keisei Line, long a vital commuter route in Chiba Prefecture, is scheduled to be absorbed or dissolved by 2025. The final journey of the train toward Kunugiyama Station marks a significant moment in local transport history. In this video, viewers are given an intimate glimpse into the train’s last moments as it pulls into its final stop. The recorded announcement serves as a farewell not only to the passengers but also to the generations who relied on this line for daily commuting.

Kunugiyama Station (くぬぎ山駅) is located in Matsudo, Chiba Prefecture, and served as one of the important hubs on the Shin-Keisei Line. The train’s departure station, Keisei-Tsudanuma Station, lies in Narashino City, also within Chiba. The video resonates with nostalgic emotion and is a must-watch for railway fans, historians, and anyone interested in Japanese transportation culture.

Train lines such as the Shin-Keisei have deep roots in local communities and are often more than just a means of transport. Their evolution — whether through closure, merger, or revitalization — tells a broader story about urban development, population trends, and modernization in Japan. This video preserves a crucial historical footnote and serves as a memorial to the line’s enduring legacy.
