Indian Traveller Shares Experience of Locals Escorting Her to Train Stations in JapanPreviousNext

An Indian traveller in Japan shared a heartwarming experience where locals went beyond giving directions by personally escorting her to her destination. In Tokyo, two young women walked with her for 10 to 15 minutes from Miyashita Park to Shibuya Station's Ginza Line entrance, despite a language barrier. Later in Osaka, another local helped her navigate a train station by guiding her to the correct platform. The traveller praised the kindness and time given by strangers, calling it a memorable part of her trip.
