細川ふみえさん、銚子電鉄「てつみちの駅・いぬぼう」で一日駅長に就任！ファンとの交流も話題に

In late October, Fumie Hosokawa took on the role of honorary stationmaster at the opening ceremony of Choshi Electric Railway’s new station, “Tetsumichi no Eki Inubou.” Dressed in a station uniform, the former gravure idol—affectionately known as “Fumin”—was warmly welcomed by fans, creating a nostalgic and joyful atmosphere reminiscent of her heyday.

The event also featured the special operation of the “Fumin Train,” decorated with her photos and memorabilia from her early career. Fans who rode the train expressed their excitement online, saying, “She hasn’t changed at all,” “Her smile is still the same,” and “It felt like seeing an old friend again.”

Hosokawa commented, “I’m grateful to Choshi Dentetsu and to all the fans who came to see me. It was such a wonderful day.” Her natural charm and unchanged beauty once again captivated many hearts, while also bringing new attention to the railway’s regional revitalization efforts.

Even years after stepping out of the spotlight, Fumie Hosokawa’s elegance and grace continue to shine brightly.
