About

新宿 → しんじゅく → shinjuku Learn to read Japanese, one train stop at a time. Rail Typing turns real Japanese train lines into reading practice. At every stop, read the station name: see the kanji and type it in hiragana or romaji, or hear the announcement and name the stop. Ride to the end of the line and you've learned to read dozens of real place names. Hiragana, katakana and kanji readings stick naturally, ride after ride. SIX WAYS TO PLAY, FROM BEGINNER TO FLUENT · Romaji: type station names in romaji, perfect if you're just learning kana · Kana: type in hiragana and get fluent at spelling in kana · Kanji: type the kanji names with the Japanese keyboard · Listening: the name is hidden, so type what you hear · Choice: no keyboard needed, just tap the right syllable, one-handed · English: type English station names on lines like the London Underground REAL LINES, REAL STATIONS · Tokyo's Yamanote, Ginza and Marunouchi lines, Osaka's Midosuji line, plus Kyoto, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Hakodate and London · A Japanese announcement for every station · More lines and cities on the way · The Yamanote line is free forever, and a different "Today's line" is free every day RACE YOUR FRIENDS, BEAT YOURSELF · Battle: quick match against players around the world · Friend rooms: share a code and start together · Ghost races: race your best run, or someone else's · Leaderboards on every line · Collect station stamps as you go · Home Screen widget and daily reminders to keep you practicing For anyone learning Japanese, planning a trip to Japan, into Japanese trains, or just wanting to type faster. ALL-LINES PASS (MEMBERSHIP) The Yamanote line, the daily free line and every mode are free. The All-lines pass unlocks every line, including new cities and lines as they're added. · Choose monthly, yearly (with a free trial for new subscribers) or a one-time purchase · Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase · Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period · Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://api.railtyping.com/privacy

· Halloween is here (Oct 24 – Nov 1): the Key Train wears a witch hat and rides past jack-o'-lanterns, bats and a moonlit sky, with Halloween music and sounds. Prefer the usual look? Turn it off in Settings › Holiday themes. · Choose your arrival sound on the Ready to depart page: sound effects, a spoken announcement, or off. On Japanese lines, Announce reads each station name aloud as you arrive, so you learn how to say it. · Bug fixes and improvements
