I'm planning my first Japan trip (actually, this would be the first overseas trip I have ever planned). I have one important destination planned for each day, e.g.
Day 1, getting from Narita Airport to the hotel
Day 2, hotel to Yoyogi Kouen
Day 3, hotel to Ghibli Museum
etc.
For each public transport trip, I use Google Maps to get directions.
However, all locations and train lines are printed in Kanji, which I cannot pronounce. (The maps in the Lonely Planets guide are in Romaji.)
Is there a way I can get directions in Romaji? It wouldn't have to be Google necessarily.
It might be alright as-is, since I could show my kanji directions to the railway attendant as I change trains. Still, I would like to know how these locations sound.
What do you think? :?
Thanks for reading.
