TrainRouteFinder

Being a gaijin can be hard sometimes when one cannot read hiragana, katakana or kanji. So how can one get from A to B when using the public transport in J-land especially on the tube or subway or train? Don’t panic! Help is at hand with TrainRouteFinder. Just type in the stations' names to and fro, date, time of arrival or departure, and then click enter. Hey, presto! It’ll give you all the train details from the fastest way to get there, where to change, the cheapest fare to how long the entire journey will take. But with the Shinkansen, the Bullet train, booking a reserved seat in advance is advisable from the main JR station ticket office. The service is absolutely terrific, sugoi! It’s so accurate and runs like clockwork. I just wish the London Underground or British Rail could operate like this.
