The Tokyo Subway Typing Game is a game where you pick a route in Tokyo, enter the Japanese station name sequence, and learn a sense of movement. If you practice the routes connecting accommodations, tourist attractions, and transfer stations before traveling to Tokyo, you can reduce the burden of reading unfamiliar signs.
Prepare for your trip with the Tokyo Subway Typing Game
In Tokyo, choose the route you need for your actual itinerary before choosing the city as a whole. By entering the route from the airport or major station to your accommodation or the section leading to a tourist attraction, you can learn the names of stations you will frequently see during your trip.
View Japanese station names and route symbols together
Enter the Japanese station name in the game and find the same station on the route map. In Tokyo, it is important to have the habit of looking at the line color, symbol, station number, and destination together, so it is better to remember the entire notation by linking it together rather than just memorizing the name.
Remember the three stations before and after the transfer station
In Tokyo, transfer corridors can be long or connect routes from multiple operators. Instead of memorizing just one transfer station, entering the previous station and the next station will help you prepare to get off the train.
Check before actually boarding
Even if you practice the route order through games, when actually traveling, check the train type, destination, and stopping station on the electronic display and official information. In particular, for sections with direct or express services, you must check whether the train stops at the destination station.
