this is the place

this picture is from a train station just outside of tokyo, japan. as we were getting on the escalator i noticed this poster. i know that the trains in japan are pretty notorious for this kind of behaviour, but i didn't realize they had cordoned off sections of the station where it is condoned. what a weird poster.

That is a deeply strange poster. Was it a warning of some sort?

This is definitely a warning. In all likelihood both to women riding the escalator as well as a notice to men seeking to engage in this type of behavior. To the latter a sign like this says that there behavior will be understood for what it is in an attempt to reduce the sense of anonymity which enables them in the first place.
