Public transportation in Japan was one of the most influential factors over my year abroad in Japan. Japan has the most convenient public transportation system that I have seen anywhere. In metropolitan and urban areas, there was always a train station and/or bus nearby that could potentially connect to any destination within the area. They are also very consistent and on time, unlike most systems in San Diego. Although this was intimidating and complex at first, I soon became comfortable using public transportation anywhere, such as from Yokohama to Tokyo, or from Kyoto to Osaka.
