Question
I’m visiting Japan for the first time and I’m a bit overwhelmed by the bustling Tokyo subway system. How do I ask someone “Which line should I take to get to Shibuya?” in Japanese?

Which line should I take to get to Shibuya?
Navigating Tokyo’s subway system can be challenging, especially for first-timers, but this phrase will help guide you. “Shibuya ni iku tame no” means “to go to Shibuya,” while “rosen wa dore desuka” asks “which line is it?”
Remember, you can substitute “Shibuya” with the destination of your choice to adjust the question for your needs. This expression is especially useful when you’re trying to find the best route to various destinations within the city. Safe travels!
