Reading Guide

Every station in this app is classified according to the way its name is pronounced. Learning these patterns will help you recognize and remember Japanese place names more naturally.

🔵 On'yomi (音読み)

Chinese-derived readings used in many compound words. Example: 東京 → 東 (tō) + 京 (kyō) = Tōkyō.

🔴 Kun'yomi (訓読み)

Native Japanese readings. Each kanji keeps its own Japanese pronunciation. Example: 上野 → 上 (ue) + 野 (no) = Ueno.

🟢 Jukujikun (熟字訓)

Some words are read as a whole and cannot be pronounced by combining the readings of each kanji. Example: 秋葉原 is read Akihabara, not "Aki-Ha-Hara."

🟣 Mixed Readings

Some station names combine different reading types. Example: 新宿 → 新 (shin, On'yomi) + 宿 (juku, Kun'yomi).

Long Vowels

This app uses macrons in Romaji to show long vowels. For example: Tōkyō, Ōtsuka, and Yūrakuchō.
