Test how many station names you remember from a trip. Tokyo, Osaka, New York and Taipei all support sixty-second recall. Registered alternative spellings let you play without every city's local keyboard.

Start the 60-second challenge →

Choose a city and familiar route

Tokyo and Osaka have separate selections, as do New York and Taipei. Narrowing to a route you used can be easier than recalling a whole city. The game uses existing site data; consult official sources for current travel operations.

Use registered alternative names

English and Korean spellings supplied in the data are accepted. Tokyo station can be entered as Tokyo or its registered local name. Changing the spelling does not score the same station again, and freely invented translations are not automatically recognised.

Japanese kanji and kana

Japanese stations accept registered kanji names and kana readings. Hiragana and katakana are treated alike, while voiced characters remain distinct. If conversion takes too long, use a supported English or Korean spelling and keep your approach consistent through the round.

Long names and different scripts

New York names can combine numbers, Street and Avenue, so begin with names you know confidently. Common formatting and some abbreviations are normalised. Taipei accepts registered Chinese, English and Korean forms. Name length can affect typing pace even with the same time limit.

Alternate learning and recall

First read and type an unfamiliar line, then try recalling it. Review your successful names and the line map afterwards. A game score does not guarantee navigation skills; use station signs and official maps while travelling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Japanese keyboard?

No. Registered English or Korean names are accepted; Tokyo is an available English answer.

Must the answer language match the interface?

No. Registered station forms are accepted together, but a station still scores only once.
