2. Taking the Train

1) Train categories

From local trains to (bullet trains), Japanese trains are typically classified into the following categories:

Local (kakueki-teisha or futsu-densha) Local trains stop at every station.

Rapid (kaisoku) Rapid trains skip some stations. There is no difference in the ticket price between local and rapid trains.

Express (kyuko) Express trains (kyuko) stop at even fewer stations than rapid trains (kaisoku).

Limited Express (tokkyu) Limited express trains stop only at major stations. A "limited express fee" has to be paid in addition to the base fare. The fee is typically between 50% and 130% of the base fare. In case of some non-JR railway companies (keisei etc), no "limited express fee" has to be paid. But some trains do not need to be paid additional fee.

Super Express (shinkansen) Shinkansen (bullet trains) are only operated by JR ( Railways). Shinkansen use separate tracks and platforms. A "limited express fee" has to be paid in addition to the base fare. The fee is typically between 60% and 175% of the base fare.

2) Buying a ticket

Tickets for short distance trips are best purchased at vending machines, while tickets and seat reservations for long distance trips can be purchased at ticket counters in train stations. a) Purchase a ticket at a vending machine

Sometimes, the station names on the maps are written only in Japanese. If you are unable to find your destination and the corresponding fare, you can purchase a ticket for the lowest possible price, and pay the difference at the destination station. 1. Find your destination and the corresponding fare on the map above the vending machine. The map shows the train lines and stations of the region. Ticket prices are shown beside each station. 2. Insert the money into the vending machine. Most machines accept coins of 10, 50, 100 and 500 Yen and bills of 1000 Yen. Many machines also accept larger bills.

3. Select the number of tickets that you wish to buy. The default is one, so if you are traveling alone, you can skip this step. 4. Press the button that shows the amount for your ticket.

5. Collect the ticket(s) and eventual change.

3) Entering the paid fare zone

After buying the ticket, you can proceed through the ticket gate. Automatic ticket gates can be found in most of stations: Insert the ticket into the slot, walk through the gate and pick up the ticket on the other side. If you insert an invalid ticket, the gate will close and an alarm will sound.

If you have a Japan Rail Pass, you cannot use automatic gates, but must pass through a manned gate, showing your pass to the station staff.

4) Station platforms

Find your platform by looking for your train Line and direction. Most important signs are written in Japanese and English, and increasingly also in Chinese and Korean. On many platforms, marks on the floor indicate where the doors of the arriving train will be located. Waiting passengers will line up behind those marks. Train drivers are trained to stop within centimeters.

5) Riding the train

Wait for passengers to exit before entering the train. Be careful not to block the door at stations, especially if the train is crowded. Put back bags on the floor or onto the baggage shelves. Most passengers on Japanese trains are either reading, sleeping or using their mobile phones for sending messages, browsing the web or playing games. Talking on mobile phones inside trains, is forbidden, Passengers waiting in lines on the platform except in the entrance sections of shinkansen and limited express trains. Upcoming stations and connecting lines are announced in Japanese. On shinkansen and some other lines, frequently used by foreign visitors, the announcements are also made in English. Shinkansen and other newer trains have displays in each car, showing the next station.

6) At the destination station

The station names on platforms are written in kanji, hiragana, and romaji (Roman letters). Furthermore, station signs always show the previous and next station. At your destination, leave the paid fare zone through the ticket gates in the same way as you entered. However, in case of single tickets, you won't get your ticket back this time. If you did not pay the correct fare for your destination station, you have to pay the difference at a "Fare Adjustment" machine before leaving through the gates. If there are no such machines, you can pay the difference at the manned gate.
