Read here (for men only!)

A very curious message posted in one of the rear wagon of the subway train on the Tobu line, photographed in Tokyo, Japan. The message, also incredibly translated in English, states that the wagon is reserved to women only during weekdays, from 7.30am to 9.00am. Curiously I could find this plate only when I was already inside the train, because although it is posted on the windows, it is facing inward the wagon.

I have been thinking what could be a plausible reason to reserve a wagon exclusively for women during early weekdays' mornings, and I speculate that it is to give some privacy to those women who would like to use long commuting hours doing their make up or getting ready for work.

It still remains mysterious though the choice of having messages facing only inward the wagons (in early morning, jumping on a wagon with only women intended in their makeup would raise the suspect anyways!) and the choice of assigning only 1 wagon to this (yet) unknown purpose: I would love to know in fact, how crowded the wagon is in early mornings, compared with the others. Finally, considering that the audience of this message is supposed to be of men, I really wonder if the pinkish plate with flowers pictured above does the job to attract their attention.
