【Japanese Podcast】Getting More Convenient? Japan's Train System

After waiting in a 50-person line at the ticket counter, I started thinking about how Japan's train system is evolving. In this episode, I talk about two recent changes: credit card tap-to-ride on Tokyo trains and a new bullet train that carries packages instead of people. Whether you're planning a trip to Japan or just curious about Japanese infrastructure, this one's for you. 【My Instagram for Japanese Learning】 https://www.instagram.com/yosuke_teac... 【Onikanji】https://onikanji.com/?ref=yosuketeach...
