Once you leave the big cities and railway stations, information in English or signs in alphabet will be random, especially when you start using ferries and rental cycles.

Here are some basic terms that might be useful:
Note: most characters have at least two readings, depending on whether they are used independently or in combination.
In Japanese, the vowels o and u have a short and a long form. Usually, the long form is indicated as ou or uu, or with a line or accent on top. To avoid problems with fonts, we decided to use only simple o and u in this homepage.
