RIDING THE TRAINS IN JAPAN

If you visit Japan, one of the best ways to get around is by train. Trains in Japan are clean, quiet, and extremely reliable. Here are some tips to make sure that your journey is as comfortable as possible.

While you wait for a train, you should stand behind the yellow line that runs down the edge of the platform. The platforms can be narrow, and stepping over the line can be dangerous for passengers. Also, you should wait in line to get on the train.

Nowadays, many Japanese trains have special women-only cars. These are usually marked on both the train and the platform. Men are not allowed to ride in these cars. So make sure you pay attention to the signs.

When you're on the train, you'll notice that most cars have special seats for elderly people. However, even if you are not sitting in one of these seats, it's good manners to stand up and give your seat to elderly passengers.

In rush hour, the trains can be very crowded. There is often very little space. Try not to put your bag on the floor or on the seat next to you. Sit with your bag in front of you, on your lap, or on the racks. Japanese trains are usually quiet. Passengers generally don't speak on their cell phones so that they don't bother other passengers. For the same reason, you shouldn't talk loudly.  You should also keep the volume of your earphones low.

And finally, make sure you have a map of the train lines. There are more than 500 stations in Tokyo, and it's easy to get lost! But don't worry too much the staff in the train stations is very helpful. If you have any worries or questions, they'll be happy to help you.
