Riding Trains in Japan! Is it hard or not?

Have you ever wanted to ride a train in Japan? Well, it's not that hard! First, you must get to the train station closest to you! Then, you can do the hard part, which isn't super hard, but it's the most difficult part. You must look at the map thing, and figure out what line you must take to get the place you need to be! (Google maps can help, just don't rely on it fully!) You also need to find the price, which is shown under or over the name of the place you are going to. It's more complicated in words, but it's easy when you get there! After finding the line you need to take, you must buy a ticket. Find the machine for buying the tickets (most of the time it is below the map) and just click the international button in the top right corner, and pick your language! It is easy to figure out from there, you just click how many people (there are little buttons on the side with pictures! They make sense when you see them!) and pay! Make sure you cash on you! After that, insert the ticket into the machine that let's you go in! Collect it, and go to your train! The trains are color coded, and easy to find with the signs. After THAT, ride until you reach your destination. You can see on the signs outside of the train what station it was. For example, if I was riding on the train, I would count how many stops there were on the ride until my destination, and then wait that many stops. Certain rides can take a while, so you can just read or check your social media or something, just make sure you know where you are when you stop! Get off, then insert your ticket into the machine for heading out. Then, go wherever you need to go! It's way more simple then it sounds, so don't be frightened by this longgggggggg post!

Well bye everyone! Enjoy your time on the train! :P :)
