Norihisa Matsumoto is a proficient freelance travel journalist. He is an expert on the Japanese railway and has contributed numerous articles about the Japanese railroad and train models. This book is a practical guide that explains valuable coping with various situations for travellers on a trip by Japanese train. The author, Norihisa, categorizes seven situations, from boarding a train to dealing with contingencies, as follows,
- How to Dealing with Boarding in a Train
- How to Coping with While Boarding in a Solo Driving Vehicle
- How to Coping with Trouble in the Station
- How to Dealing with Unexpected Train Schedule
- How to Coping with Ticket Trouble
- How to Treating IC Card
- Contingencies
All these categories would be helpful for train travellers. For instance, if passengers accidentally boarded a bullet train they hadn’t reserved, they should approach the conductor until the next station. Some ticket vending machines may not be available in the early morning. In this case, the author recommends that travellers purchase train tickets beforehand at the counter or online. If you have a higher level of Japanese reading proficiency, Shinichi recommends this book, which would be a practical guide for your train trips in Japan.
