Two white goats have become unlikely celebrities in central Tokyo after being recruited to clear overgrown vegetation near Yotsuya railway station.

The animals, which have been placed on the station’s grounds, are performing an eco‑friendly gardening duty that has drawn a steady stream of curious commuters and tourists.

Passers‑by report that the goats are happily nibbling on weeds and shrubs, helping to maintain the area without the use of chemicals or machinery.

Their presence has turned the station into an informal attraction, with crowds of delighted onlookers stopping to watch the goats work and take photographs.

While the initiative is a small part of the station’s maintenance routine, it highlights an innovative approach to urban landscaping in Japan’s bustling capital.
