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.
