katoftw Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Interesting episode about the timetables. Link to comment
Ekiben Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Great episode. I can't believe I've overlooked these timetables on my trips to Japan over the past 25 years. I've always used Hyperdia and other online tools, and those have served me well. However, I'm a huge fan of timetables and will definitely be checking these out next time I visit. I recall using a timetable book religiously during a three-month backpacking trip in India. It felt as though I was living in a real-life choose your own adventure novel. 2 Link to comment

So 1.2 million a year, about 1 per 10 people in Japan. I hope they use recycled paper... 1 Link to comment
