9 Things About Trains in Japan by The Smart Local Japan

Pic by hss.ogura.hiro

1. Seats Can Be Rotated

Pic by shika_crash/

If you have motion sickness from facing the opposite direction of the train movement, you can rotate. 

Or if you commute in a group of four, you can rotate to face each other. Just remember to talk softly.

2. Some Trains Have Open Doors Button

Pic by Free Materials

Some trains have buttons at the side of the door, both outside and inside the train to open the doors manually.

I remember standing like an idiot waiting for the door to open until a salaryman helped to push the button. 😂

3. Stack your tickets when transferring from local train to Shinkansen

When alighting from local train to the Shinkansen gantry, stack both your local train and Shinkansen tickets on top of each other and insert into the gantry.

Retrieve them once you passed the gantry. If you use prepaid cards like Suica or Pasmo, put in the Shinkansen ticket first and tap your card on the panel.

4. Eating in Trains

You can eat in Shinkansen and Express trains but not in local and rapid trains. There’s a reason why Japanese trains are super clean.

From personal experience in taking local trains, drinking is fine but eating is not, especially if the food has a strong smell.    

5. 5 Types of Trains

Pic by Japan Guide

Bullet Train (Shinkansen) - goes straight to destination. 

Limited Express (Tokkyu) - stops at 1-2 stations along the way.

Express (Kyuko) - stops at 2-3 stations along the way. 

Rapid (Kaisoku) - stops at every few stations (3-5 stations) along the way.

Local (Futsu) - stops at every station like the typical metro.

They are rough estimates as to how many stops they make along the way, depending on which line and how far is it traveling.

I took limited express from Kansai Airport to Shiga Prefecture where my hotel is, it stops at Osaka and Kyoto, the busy stations.

6. Types of Seats

On the shinkansen and limited express trains, seats are sorted into 4 categories:

Reserved (Shitei Seki) - guarantee you a seat

Unreserved (Jiyu Seki) - sit anywhere in the unreserved cars

Green Car (Gurin Sha) - more space and leg room

Gran Class - with gourmet meals

Pricing are different for each. You may read the article here to know more.

7. Sightseeing Trains

While the 5 trains mentioned above is to get you from point A to B, there is a luxury train for you to admire the scenery and is not as crowded.

Because the train takes longer travel time than the 5 trains above and it does not go to the cities where crowds of officer workers usually go.

This the train where you can eat and drink to your heart content. Different prefecture has different luxury trains which you need to find out.

8. One Cabin Train

Pic by hss.ogura.hiro

The One Man Train (Wanman Ressha) that you often see in Studio Ghibli type of anime taking place at the countryside.

They can be found on less traveled path or train line leading elsewhere from the usual tourist attractions and big cities.

There is no train conductor to collect your ticket so you have to deposit the ticket into the collection box near the exit.

9. Tickets are collected after the ride

Pic by y.y_official

To prevent passengers from reusing their tickets, used tickets are collected after your ride at the alighting station.

You can keep the stub as a souvenir but you have to inform the station staff so they will stamp or punch a hole to prevent reusing the ticket.

Marc and I love to go to #Disneyland. I like to make it interesting when they take our picture on a ride.

NOW RELEASED... the highly anticipated AV8 Pant. Over the past 6 months, we have redesigned, redeveloped and now… redefined what a Race Pant is. Some years ago, we set out to make the world’s best Race Pant. With each new release, we get closer and closer and the all new AV8 Race Pant, is a bold step in that direction. In redeveloping a new race pant from the ground up, we started with a few simple rules that could not be altered. We wanted it to be lighter. We wanted it to be stronger. We wanted it to be more aerodynamic. Stronger: We increased the primary crash zone of the pant to offer greater protection to the knee. We have increased the strength of the butt fabric by over 40%! Lighter: We have decreased the overall weight of the pant by eliminating unnecessary clutter and buckles. We have removed the thigh fabric and replaced it with a stronger yet lighter 330 Denier Polyester. Slimmer: We have made the AV8 pant more aerodynamic by making the pant slightly slimmer in areas suited to a slimmer fit. To compensate for the aerodynamic effect we have increased the overall mass of the stretch panels as well as introducing a higher grade stretch fabric. We have added a hip flex panel which (though feels snug) allows the pants to move freely with the body as it expands during high range motion pedalling and squatting. “This pant is the merging of everything we have learnt and dreamt of over the past 20 years in the apparel industry. We are extremely proud of all the hard work by all involved and now proudly, release it to the public.” Jason Ham #planett #makemomentsmatter #bmx #mtb #downhill #bmxgear #mtbgear #ride #race #ridegear #ridepants #whorememberstransvisionvamp #apparel
