3 rules to remember when using trains in Japan
There are many rules for using means of transport in different countries. You should follow those guidelines.
Japan too, I think anyone coming here needs to learn the things to keep in mind when using the train because this is simply a country where public transport is dominating.
Priority Seating:
On ships in Japan, there are special seats for the elderly, pregnant women, children or the disabled. These are called priority seats. You should not sit there if you are in good health or are not carrying a baby with you. If you see a sign like the one in the picture above, or the seats are a different color than the regular ones, that means they are priority seats.
Don't make phone calls on the train
In Japan, you shouldn't call anyone while on the train. Even if someone calls you, ask to call them back later. In addition, there are some small requirements for your phone. You should leave it in silent mode, to avoid the ringing of the bell affecting the concentration of those around.
In addition, on certain ships it is also forbidden to eat and drink, if it is just a small candy it is okay but if you eat your cake or drink your water, it will cause crumbs or spilled water to pollute public spaces. affect other passengers. Only some long-distance trains such as shinkansen or some other rapid train lines have their own seats and dining tables, you will be allowed to eat comfortably, but you should still pay attention to general hygiene.

Wait a moment before getting on the train
There is another rule you need to follow to make sure everything runs smoothly. As you know, there are many people living in Japan, especially in Tokyo. Therefore, sometimes the train is full and it is difficult for you to get inside.
To make things easier, it's a good idea to wait outside for a while for all passengers on the train to disembark or for those on board to move inside before stepping inside.
In Japan, the rule when entering a train is "first out, last in". In addition, when waiting for the train at the boarding gate, you need to pay attention to stand except for the middle aisle so that when the train arrives, the people getting off have a way to go out.
