Japanese train ticket
Originally uploaded by Japanese news.
When visiting Japan, you might need to catch a train. So today we will show the Japanese symbols of train ticket are written in Japan’s railway and a place to buy a ticket.
In Japanese, ticket is called Kipu and they are the first three symbols in a picture. A place to buy a thing is called Uriba and they are the last three characters. By combining these Japanese words, it become Kipu Uriba which is the place to buy a train ticket in a Japan’s railway.
By the way, the first two kanji symbols mean all lines in Japanese. Those symbols which are written in hiragana are Kipu Uriba.

Japanese Gift voucher
Originally uploaded by Japanese news.
In Japan, there are many ways to buy a product. One of the way is to use a gift voucher which is called Shouhinken. As you can see, there are 3 Japanese kanji symbols followed by 1000 numbers. What the first 3 kanji character represent is the gift voucher - Shou Hin ken in Japanese. Actually, the first two characters mean product by themselves and the last character means ticket by itself in Japane language. By combining all 3 symbols, they mean gift voucher. 1000 means it is worth thousand yen.
So I will add these Japanese symbols into our Japanese dictionary.

Japanese symbols of close and open
Originally uploaded by Japanese news.
Today’s picture show you the Japanese symbols used in a elavator. Like yesterday’s picture, there are two Japanese kanji words. One on the left means close and normally grey button. One on the right is, on the other hand, open button and normally it is colored green. Obivously, the grey close button close the door of a elavator and the green button open the door. The kanji symbol of close is called Tojiru and open is called Hiraku. When they are written, both of them need to use Hiragana script to support the kanji symbols. Only the first character is kanji.
So, today’s Japapanese symbols added in our Japanese dictionary are close and open kanji symbols used in a Japan’s elvator.

Japanese characters used in a book
Originally uploaded by Japanese news.
Today, I would like to teach you about what sort of Japanese character are mainly used, as I received a question.
But, the answer for this is “It really depends”.
So, I will show you what Japanese characters are used in a book.
As you can see some of the Japanese characters used in this book, themajory of Japanese characters are written by using the kanij script. Also,
they are written vertically. As a tradtional Japanese writing, we write
character from left to right vertically.
You may wonder whywe read books backwards.
No, no…
This is a normal way of reading Japanese books. For Westerners, that is
backward.
