Train 1In Japan, there are many of kinds of transportation, such as trains, airplanes and buses. Among them, trains are the main means of transport for people in Japan. Train 2In Japan, there are many kinds of trains: commuter trains, bullet trains, subways, monorails and so on. Train 3There are many train companies in Japan, and many people use trains. When people go to their companies and schools or on a trip, many go by train. Departure informationThis is a train information board. Trains are very punctual. On the information board, the next train's destination and departure time are easily found, and some boards indicate which stations the train stops at. Train timetableThere is a lot of time information at stations. This is a train timetable. It tells you exactly what time the train is scheduled. During busy times in the morning and early evening, more trains are scheduled. Signboard of required times This sign shows how long it takes from the station where you are to your destination station. The sign also shows at which station you can transfer. Entrance to a subway stationThis is an entrance to a subway station. The subways run under streets; therefore, remembering this subway sign helps you easily find the entrance to the subway. SubwayIn large cities, subways form a major transportation system. Subways are very punctual, just like trains running at ground level. On a platform, there are a white tiled warning line and yellow Braille blocks. The trains keep to the left, just like cars in Japan. Subway route mapThis is a route map of Tokyo. Central Tokyo is covered with an elaborate network of many subways. There are 13 subway lines running altogether, and they are divided into two groups. One group is operated by a private company, Tokyo Metro, and the other is operated by Toei Subway under the Tokyo metropolitan government. By subway, you can go anywhere you want within the 23 wards of Tokyo. Entrance of Roppongi StationTokyo subways run deep below ground. Newer subways run even deeper. Every subway line has a specified color, so that looking for the color of the line that you want to take makes finding the line easier when you see the information board at the station's entrance or on a platform. Escalator 1We take the escalator to go to the platform. Recently, more and more stations have escalators. Escalator 2At a station that is deep below ground, we ride several long escalators, and we also walk through long passages to get to the platform. In Tokyo, people stand on the left side of the escalator, and people in a hurry walk up or down the right side; in Osaka people do the opposite. Platform of Roppongi Station Roppongi Station on the Ooedo subway line is 42 meters below ground, and its platform is the deepest in Japan. There is a No Smoking sign. Smoking is prohibited in all stations in Tokyo. Monorail 1A monorail is a train running on a single rail. They are cheap to construct, so many new monorails are being built in the suburbs of Tokyo. Monorail 2Some monorails run under the rail. Bullet train 1The bullet train is the fastest train in Japan. The bullet train Nozomi runs between Tokyo and Osaka in two hours and thirty minutes. In order to achieve high speed, the head of Nozomi is tapered. Bullet train 2Bullet trains connect various cities in Japan. At present eight bullet train lines are running ? the Tokaido, Tohoku, Joetsu and so on. Mt. Fuji can be seen from the window of the Tokaido bullet train. Bullet train 3The fastest bullet train runs at 300km/h. Bullet train 4Because the bullet trains are very fast, many people use them. Among all means of transportation in Japan, trains are very important.
