When you see any major train station in Japan during the rush hour, it might seem like a personification of chaos. But thinking like that can't be further from the truth. Japan's train system is nothing but efficient, and if you look beneath the surface and observe its busy life for a few moments, you will see that despite the hectic atmosphere, everything goes like clockwork.
There are a lot of stations around the world that can be described as well-equipped, modern, or simply "great." But any big Japan's station is a whole new level of what "great" means. Where else can you find the railway stations equipped with blue-light panels designed for the sole purpose of calming the agitated passengers? Where sharp unpleasant buzzers commonly used to mark the train's departure are changed to pleasant jingles, meant to notify the travelers about the upcoming departure without increasing anxiety? Japanese train stations are full of surprises, so let's have a look at some of the most popular ones. |
