> I remember the first time I looked at the train maps in the Shinagawa Station, in Tokyo.

For an example like that, were they confusing because the complexity of all the train routes were inherently confusing to a newcomer, or because it was a poor visualization?




The former.

When I get back to my desktop, I’ll see if I can scare up an image.


This is what they look like: https://c8.alamy.com/comp/WAB0FP/japan-honshu-tokyo-yurakach...

The numbers in the boxes are the fare (in Yen) required to get to the indicated station from where you are (this map is from the Yurakucho station).

A number of companies run trains in Tokyo. This map is for the JR company lines. Other maps can show the places the different lines meet up.
