Public transportation is well developed in Japan. It’s a convenient country when you want to move from one place to another. Especially in Tokyo, anywhere you go you can find train. With its short interval distance between the station, it is very convenient to go to your intended destination. Today, let me introduce the Japanese word for train station.
In Japanese, train station is called Eki (駅)
From its kanji, it composes of two part, the horse (馬) and the unit length (尺). In the past, the only existing mode of transportation is horse. And the place where the horse takes its rest in a trip is called umaya. Now this kanji means train station.
Japan is well developed. Inside the station, not only waiting room, you can also find restaurants, bookstore, clothes store, general store and more. And toilet facilities are also beautiful and clean. In ladies' room, there is space to apply your make-up. Waiting for the train can become very comfortable activity.
Now let’s learn the word in the sentence!
● Tsugi ha dono eki ni tomari masuka?
(次はどの駅に止まりますか？)
● What station is the next stop?
● Eki de machiawase shimashou.
(駅で待ち合わせしましょう)
