Yes, it is women-only during rush hour. Please use the next car.
Gesture & etiquette
Point to the train car, polite bow.
Do not enter a women-only car if you are male, even if it's empty outside rush hour, unless explicitly stated that the restriction is lifted. Check signs on the platform and train doors carefully.
