Know how to ride a train in Japan? Learn the unspoken rules of Japanese culture in avoid embarrassment and gain a new appreciation for the things around you! Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/AMbdtg9YxM8/w-d-xo.html
I love this because it's so accurate and well-informed! One thing that's a bit inaccurate is standing up without holding onto the rails as the train stops or bumps 😂😂 It's so tough staying as you are hahaha
If you said such a thing in Japan, there's a fair chance that you may not be allowed to ride the train again. You are not suppose to disturb others in anyway, and if you must speak to someone it must be formally, quietly, and end as soon as possible. Train rules in Japan are very strict compared to other countries, which is why saying such a Thing is incredibly bad.
yes, tell me about it... first time i went to Tokyo i got in one these only women cars. It was weeeeird for me, everybody was staring at me, www and then i saw the sign, i jumped off on next station and desappear. PS: Lisa eigo no hatsuon ii, ganbatteru, itsumo oshiete moratteiru 3Q.
おはようございます! What a surprise!! No body answered my question (cf. supra) you are not serious!!! I am a beginner in Japanese, that is why I still need some help. Any how I found the answer for my question, by my self: The phonetic pronunciation is: (女性専用車) (Josei sen'yōō-sha) Women only car /// WOMEN ONLY 専 (sèm) dedicated /// dédié in French. Because I know only hiragana and some katakana, for the time being, I still need some more time to be familiar with kanji syllable (漢字音節). 漢字シラブル. One more notice for those Japanese who try to teach us their language: Google has the worst translation system ever, not only in Japanese, but also in any other language. How many mistakes!!!

Ueapop Pannopas In Japan it can get very crowded in trains during rush hour, to the point where you are sandwiched in between people. It's easy for offenders to grope/molest people and get away with it. Women only cars were introduced to tackle that problem.
Ueapop Pannopas unfortunately sexual harassment is a huge problem, especially during rush hour when crowded cars are /really/ crowded. It's not even uncommon for harassers to arrange to "gang grope" women. Since friendly plakats asking harassers not to harass didn't help, women only cars seem to be the only possible way to help.

***** Not saying it can't happen, but I guess it's not frequent enough to require a men-only car. As far as I know men harassing women on trains is a serious issue in Japan.
Where I am from there are more women riders than man, so I really want a man only car. The women riders are really annoying. They push at you because they know you cannot do anything since the "law" is on their side.
I rode the womens carriage few times and because I always listen to music in the train never noticed that I stepped into womens one till the last minute.....
While it shows that the men shouldn't board Women Only cars, there have been times when men used the doors of the Women Only cars to exit. I remember riding the Hanzomon line to the T-CAT one morning, and there were men who made their way to the doors for the next station, then they'd wait by the doors and get off. They kept their heads down, eyes downcast and arms folded across the chest as they walked to the doors. They did not look at any of the women.
Can someone explain why there are "Woman only" cars. The whole concept of discluding someone because of race, sex or sexual prefferences seems really wrong and immoral to me.
I've heard that women are often sexually assaulted on trains and sometimes are too afraid to do anything about it. So imagine being a woman on a crowded train, especially if you get stuck in a corner. That's why it's best to take women only trains, to prevent incidents like these since you can't always stop them from happening on regular trains. And from what I've seen, women over in Japan seem much more quiet, although I'm sure plenty of women will still put a pervert on blast.

Any how I found the answer for my question, by my self:
The phonetic pronunciation is:
(女性専用車) (Josei sen'yōō-sha)
Women only car /// WOMEN ONLY
専 (sèm) dedicated /// dédié in French.
Because I know only hiragana and some katakana, for the time being, I still need some more time to be familiar with kanji syllable (漢字音節). 漢字シラブル.

Uhh, yeah, it's a more complicated when it's 1000 people being PACKED into a train.
Haha I could imagine that guy in the women only car slowly putting 1 and 1 together. "Hang on minute! Why is there only women here? OH F***!"
no finger blasting??
Could any one please tell me how to pronounce the sentence in Japanese (women only), and each syllable separately?
どうも ありがとうございます

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com Are children (little boys) allowed onto women only carts?
***** I wonder this too. What would women who have their male children with them do in that situation?
What's 14 in Japanese is it JuYon?
Dozo can be spoken to any age and gender~?
Why are there women only cars, but no men only cars?
Painting Amber キム I would assume women touching men's butts it's an unfrequent occurrence
***** Not saying it can't happen, but I guess it's not frequent enough to require a men-only car. As far as I know men harassing women on trains is a serious issue in Japan.

Japan is known for gender division and social norms.
If all the women went into the women only carriages, there would only be men in the normal carriages
does the women's only train cost more than normal?
I rode the womens carriage few times and because I always listen to music in the train never noticed that I stepped into womens one till the last minute.....
Gunocelot Nizmei
Hahah! :D Must be embarrassing... Don't worry, I'm sure it happens to lots of people.
TB
And you mustn't use your phone on trains and busses, right?
No. It is considered very rude to use a phone, eat, put makeup on, or talk on a train in Japan. Hope I helped
nope. you shouldnt even take it out of your pocket. you can pretty much sleep or sit
Can women who have their male children with them be able to access the Women Only cars?
They should be aloud too
「あなたは男の子だから、これは女性専用車だから、他の車に行って！」（笑）
"Because you are a boy and this is a women only car, go to another car!" LOL.
Just don't mix up 'suwatte mo ii' and 'sawatte mo ii'
you look so cute in this video.

Wow. Must have been torture for him. Lol
What if I ride in Women only. I would get arrested? How can I ask to get out before they call the cops? lol
Helvecio I'm pretty sure it's not illegal for a man to ride on a women only car.
The station workers will kick you out of the subway.
すみません。おりまああああああああああす!
Why are there women-only trains in Japan?
There culture is quite sexist.
We have the gaijin pass. しょうがないね？

When there is a womens only carriage... Is it normal for women to be on the normal carriages?
@@sameerabdulqader4472 Harassment on trains in Japan is very common for women. Since it ususally doesn't happen to men, they don't need extra carts.
Why only woman? Because of reasons. Also, sexual harrasment being in a crowded train lol
Getting into a woman's only car would be so embarrassing! T_T
they make that mistake on purpose
