The Japan Subway Railway System

Japanese Subway Railway system

Today, I'll show you how the Japanese Subway Railway system works here in Japan, especially here in Nagoya.

I started my day travelling from Akaike Station. It is my starting point going to Kanayama station.

You can buy your ticket here in ticket booth or just tap to charge your IC card.

On top of it you can see the railway maps that can guide you on your destination.

You can always find this anywhere in the train station. It is locker where you can leave your things purposely for a meantime. I still didn't experience using it but its good thing to have this option when your travelling.

Frankly speaking, Japanese people is very disciplined here on the garbage compare to new york railway.

Not to embarrass anyone, just telling what I saw in two different place. I also been in New York and this was what I saw right here.

New York subway station

You can see the cleanliness of the place. What you will notice is rarely you can see a trashcan outside but you cannot see any garbage anywhere. It is outstandingly good in my opinion.

Luckily it was not the rush hour yet.

There is a priority seat for a person who has special needs.

And woolah, I arrived in Kanayama station after 30 minutes of travel for 410 yen ticket ($4).

Kanayama has many attractions nearby you can check it out here.

@hiroyamagishi thank you for showing the subway system! It takes me back to the time I went on it! I also noticed the cleanliness of the place compared to New York and Australia! I love Japan, the people and its culture (which is why I work for a Japanese company here in Australia).

Thanks for sharing and keep up the great content :)

You know what I found very interesting about the subway in Japan..... Rush Hour! Never experienced anything like that in my life. They were literally cramming us into the box car like sardines lol. A true public fondlers dream come true, not that I'm into that kind of stuff, but u get it lol

I feel you, especially the morning rush hour... love your comment!

Thanks, I really appreciate your comment... I must follow you from now on... Whenever I go out of the country what I am missing in Japan is the cleanliness especially the comfort room... every comfort room here has a quality standard, I felt that I'm home in wherever comfort room, sounds funny but it was what I really feel, Lol!

Nice, thank you for sharing about this! :)

my pleasure, my friend

thank you for shareing your nice pictures, It's very interesting to see how the subway works in different countries

your welcome, my friend! @reinerknapp

i like this idea of having a circle line in the middle connecting all of the lines together. Nice post! :)

they are interconnected to each other, I am glad you loved it...thanks

I have heard that they use people pusher to push people in the subway ? is it true ?

there are some who commit suicides here but never heard that there some intenationally pushing someone to death... I'll do my research on that

By people pusher I mean people who push the passengers into the train because it is very crowdy so that the door can close :) .. I am sorry to confuse you in thinking people push others in front of the train :)

hahaha, thanks for clearing it up! the guardsman is usually pushing someone who wants to get on the train... :D

Good local perspective -- I really appreciate straightforward and visual posts like this and look forward to seeing more of your content in the future! I just followed you, and I hope you'll do the same so we can connect and continue to evolve and learn from each other! Remember, be yourself, because nobody does it better -- Full #Steem ahead :)

Follow me @tayken
Much ❤

thank you, @tayken steem on!

I have read that everytime when there is a delay you can receive some kind of document, which can be presented to your boss if you are late for work.
Am I correct?

yes, it is true... Because they are very strict on time... when I was studying to get a driving licence I was only a 1 or 2 minutes late. The police close the door and it doesn't allow me to attend anymore, he said come back by tomorrow. Pity on me, lol

Not only upvote but follow too!
What I love about this steem is I can make friends around the world, My wife was in Japan a few years ago, she couldn't stop talking about how clean and friendly they were compared to here in the states.
It's a tragedy that people here in The United States have lost discipline for their elders and each other.
Keep up the posts!!

thanks followed you back, I love your comment, hope to see your future blogs buddy! Steemit is a wonderful place to be! Steem On!

I have heard two things about Japan and it's trains and subways, and I want to hear the truth from you my friend :)

  1. Is it true that trains and subways are almost never late? (happens a lot i Denmark lol)
  2. If the train/subway is late they will give you a little note you can show your boss so he will believe you? (I heard he probably wouldn't believe you because the trains/subs are always in time haha)
    :)

For occasional reasons sometimes the trains got late, one of the reason is if someone commits suicide in the train...the cleaning takes time, sad truth...
The trains usually never got late, however, if it does ( which is usually on time) they provide a notice paper to your work or school. Because they are very strict with the time. I was once late when I am taking driving licence before, I was late by only 1 or 2 minutes but they already close the door and even I am knocking hard they did not open it because they said I was late rather told me I can come back by tomorrow. Lol

So the rumors are true, you guys are like the most punctual people ever.
That sounds so strict just closing the door and not letting you in lol :)
And wow sad to hear that someone would commit suicide in a train :(

Japan have much fast tracks

they have, however, the Japan subway train station doesn't have fast tracks...

yeah its right, thats not in subway trains

I spent several days in Tokyo and used the subway system daily. Very easy and fast, but rush hours should be avoided if possible!

haha, I feel you, buddy!

Hands down to the Japanese metro system, its outstanding. Thank you for sharing the clear pictures

thanks and I am glad you love my photos! Inspired to post more because of your comment :D

Felt like I took a ride on a subway in Japan! Thanks for all the pictures and explanation!!

thanks! my pleasure you love my little effort on here... actually many passengers were feeling annoyed because I am taking a picture every time...this comment relieves it! thanks

Now that's value for money

yeah, your right! Our taxes really paid off

Great post. 1 of the cleanest subways I've seen. Nice pictures to complaint the content.

My pleasure, my friend...

That very interesting
