System of Ticket Gate / 改札システム [Journey]

箱根登山鉄道の駅で見かけた改札システム。
ICカードの普及で、既にこうなっていたとは…。

At the Hakone Tozan Railway's station 箱根登山鉄道の駅改札口にて

I saw the system of the ticket gate at the Hakone Tozan Railway's station.
Though the "IC card (=rechargeable contactless smart card)" gradually prevails in Japan, I didn't know it had already imported that system into the small station.

改札鋏（かいさつきょう）で切符に入鋏してもらった頃が懐かしい…。
文明の利器に一抹の寂しさを感じた私です。

I remembered that the station attendants had used the railway ticket punches.....
I felt some nostalgia for a convenience.
