Hello everyone.
Today I would like to introduce you to Japanese "trains".
I've heard that "Japanese trains are the best in the world!", But what about the actual evaluation overseas? I've been using it as a matter of course since I was born, so I don't notice much, but Japanese trains seem to be quite excellent.
Let's introduce it.
Japanese trains are accurate in time!
A famous episode of Japanese trains is that "the train is at the station according to the timetable". That's right, in fact most trains arrive at the station at the timetable. Of course, if a trouble (incident or accident) occurs, it may be delayed, but there is no significant delay. I think that many people use trains when traveling in Japan, so it's a good idea to check the train time and operation information at that time on the Internet or apps. You can get information about the train you want to ride in real time.
I've seen an episode that accompanies this, saying, "If a Japanese train is delayed even for a minute, an apology will be announced," but this is also true. One minute may be exaggerated, depending on the driver at that time, but if there is any delay, it will be announced in the car
"The train is currently delayed. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to our customers."
Such an announcement may be played. When I heard the announcement, the train I was on was delayed by 3 minutes.
Isn't it too quiet on the train ...?
This is also often said. "Does anyone talk about Japanese trains?" No, I'll talk. However, I try to speak quietly so as not to bother other people. Do not disturb people around you in public places, not just on the train. That's because it's the basic idea of Japan. I don't talk loudly or move around on the bus or plane. If you do such a thing, you will get the eyes of "bad manners" or "what kind of education have you received?" In Japan. Also, it is a violation of etiquette to make and answer calls in the car. It can't be helped in an emergency, but basically I don't make calls.
It's nice that the train is quiet, but I've been having troubles on the train for the last few years. That is the "baby crying problem". I got on the train with my baby, but I started crying on the way. I'm sure some people have seen this kind of scene. In Japan, the reaction in such cases is often cold. Some people go yelling at the parents of the baby who is crying when they are unlucky, with an unpleasant gaze, "It's noisy." Such troubles occur relatively frequently. On the Internet, there are many opinions such as "If you have a baby, don't take the limited express!", "If you start crying, get off the train once even if you are not at your destination!", "Don't use the train in the first place!" The birthrate is declining and the population is aging. .. ..
Isn't the Japanese sleeping too much on the train?
Yes. I also sleep from time to time. lol
If your destination is far away or you are tired, you just fall asleep. I slept on the train on my way home from work today when I wrote this blog. It's about 10 minutes. It seems that people overseas are worried when they see this scene, and I wonder if their belongings will be stolen. At least not within the range of my life. I never have. Of course, I've lost what I've left on the train, but I've never stolen my smartphone or wallet in my bag or pocket while I was sleeping. Not. It's definitely not safe, but I don't think there are so many thefts on the train. I have to forget something. However, be careful when using the "満員電車Manindennsya", which is a specialty in urban areas of Japan. There is theft when there are too many people on the train. Don't leave your bag open and keep your valuables out of the reach of others.
The most common crime on the train
The most common crime on Japanese trains is "Molester (Chikan)", which means "to intentionally touch the opposite sex or another person with your hands or feet. If you also press your body," There is. "But, of course, it can't be helped if it's not intentional. Unfortunately, many people on Japanese trains intentionally try to touch a woman's body. In particular, this is a crime that occurs frequently in urban areas where trains are full of people. Men may be harmed.
And there is the annoyance of this crime. It is a "false charge". This became a very big problem for a while. Because "it is difficult to prove that you are not doing it". In other words, if a woman who insists that a man who is doing nothing is a victim is grabbed by his hand and dropped off at the station, "This person touched my body!" Some have been treated as persons and have actually become criminals. Why do some people do this? Most of its purpose is "money." There are really people who say, "Give me money instead of not reporting the damage to the police." Sadly. The next most common reason is "stress." There was something I didn't like, so let's make others feel unpleasant. I make a noise that I was touched even though I was not touched. it's awful.
If you weren't doing anything, you suddenly grabbed your arm and said, "This person is a sex offender!" What do you think? The line of sight from the people around you, the line of sight from the station staff and the police, and the fact that you haven't done it are over when it's difficult to prove. So lately, the police that are cracking down seem to make a very detailed investigation and judgment. There's no way to prove that you're not doing it, so it seems that there aren't as many false charges now as they used to be.
Therefore, please be careful when you take a train with many people in urban areas of Japan. Women and men.
It's been a long time today.
There are good points and bad points in Japanese trains.
If you come to Japan, you should actually try it during a time when it is not crowded.
There are some bad things about Japanese trains, but basically it's rare to get into trouble.
