Question
I’m planning to visit Japan soon and will be using trains to get around. I heard Japanese train stations can be hectic, and I’m worried about getting lost. How can I ask someone “Which platform is for Tokyo?” in Japanese?

Which platform is for Tokyo?
This phrase is very helpful when navigating Japanese train stations. The word “Tookyoo yuki” means “bound for Tokyo”. “Dono hoomu” means “which platform” and “desuka” makes it a polite question. You can replace “Tookyoo” with the name of your destination.
Save this expression to smoothly find your platform and avoid the stress of missing your train.
