One-year-old Nagi and two-year-old Pokke arrived in October at a 900-square-metre vacant plot in the bustling Shinjuku district, where they have been steadily grazing on weeds as part of an environmentally friendly initiative launched by East Japan Railway (JR East) . The trial, which began on 9 October, offers an alternative to conventional grass cutting and herbicides and is expected to continue until around December, unless the animals finish the job sooner. Although JR East has previously experimented with goat grazing, this is its first such project within Tokyo's central Yamanote railway loop . The unusual sight has attracted schoolchildren, office workers and commuters , many stopping to take photographs and videos.
