Question
I’m planning a trip to Japan and will be visiting several cities. I’d like to know the best way to ask for directions in Japanese, especially if I need to ask, “How do I get to the train station from here?”

Koko kara eki made doo yatte ikimasuka?
How do I get to the train station from here?
This is a practical question for travelers navigating through Japan. “Koko kara” means “from here,” “eki” is “train station,” and “doo yatte ikimasuka” means “how do I get there?” If you replace “eki” with another destination such as “hotelu” for “hotel” or “kouen” for “park,” you can ask for directions to any place you’re interested in. This phrase is incredibly useful when you’re exploring new areas and need guidance. Safe travels!
