If it's your first trip to Japan, taking the train can seem intimidating. In this video, I show you what it's like taking the train - a complete walkthrough including what signs to look for, useful tips, the ticket gates, how to find your platform and what to do when the station's busy. We take two journeys: Shinjuku Station to Nakano Station, then Nakano Station to Harajuku Station (changing at Shinjuku). The process of taking the Tokyo Metro is very similar. I'll also how you how to top up your Suica card (or other IC card) with cash at the ticket machine.
