Sightseeing and day trips
Day trips are where you read the most signs: prices, opening times, queues. This lesson covers tickets, checking when places are open and asking local people what's worth seeing. Two patterns use 〜たい and 〜てみる from Everyday Japanese 3. Tap to hear any line. The bar at the bottom plays a hands-free drill for walking.
G
25 words for days out
Each card shows a word, the form used and a sentence you'd say or hear on a day out. Cards marked "heard" are staff and signs. Ten reuse words from earlier lessons.
M
Signs at sights and shops
Words you'll see at ticket desks, museums and shop doors.

- means child. On price boards it's read しょうにん and usually means primary-school age.
- Check the closed day. Museums often close on Mondays (). If Monday is a holiday, they usually close on Tuesday instead.
- Day passes. Many areas sell passes for trains and buses. Ask at the tourist information office.
