The Psychology of Japanese Train Stations

I found it very easy and each time I’ve asked for assistance I’ve received it. The stations are always manned with several staff so help is always available.

On the Tokyo subway all trains and maps, signage and in cabin screens provide English labelling. What more do you need ?

Edit: I have to add, the fact the trains a almost perfectly ontime, with little wait between services, always designed to meet capacity, are In great condition and spotless, I really don’t see how it “sucks”. In fact what more do you want out of a Subway?

There's a small learning curve but they do a great job on signage and maps.

I kinda feel bad asking for assistance in Japan. Most of the times I needed help they went way beyond my expectations to assist.
