Some other interesting experiences... I liked that "Botchan-train"(old- style train which runs the streets of Matsuyama.Same type of train you can experience in Meiji-mura in Nagoya.Also, the Showa-style tourist bus in Kanazawa was quite impressive.I don't know if this goes as "transportation" but I rode a camel in Tottori. Yes,and I rode around Lake Kawaguchi on bicycle.

1, No

2, No

3, Yes. But only a few times, from Tokyo to Nagoya/Kyoto, and back

4, I don't know what you mean.

5, I may have. But don't remember.

6, No

7, I visit Shinjuku station very often as I live near it.

8, I have driven there a few times.

9, Maybe, no. But I have taken buses on school trip or tour and they went on highway.

10, I took ferry at several places. I don't remember where it was.

11, No

12, on Tokyo Bay and other lakes

13, Tokyo has a tram. I took it before. I recently went to one local city in Japan and took a tram there.

14, Yes, I can't tell you where.

15, No. But I have taken both JAL and ANA international flights so far. This question is for domestic flight, right?

16, Maybe not.

17, Tokyo has many cases like that. So if you keep living in Tokyo for years, you would encounter it. But not like "just in front of me", but like "Someone jumped here 1 hour ago".

I have seen this case several times.

Addition:

From Princess Kushinada's answer, I got what the split train is. But it's quite common in Japan, or in Tokyo to split trains to more than 1 directions.

So I never thought about using a specific word like split train on it.

To answer your #4, yes I have taken split trains thousands of times since my childhood. I don't remember from/to for each train.

I usually travel by car all over the country.

In summer, I like to tour Japan on my motorbike - it is a lot of fun going up and down Mt Fuji

Taking a steam train thru tea plantations was very beautiful.

Elevators are also a transportation mode...I had some fun rides in awesome elevators especially in Tokyo

Flying around by helicopter was the best

you ought to have no situation staying at quite a few lodges for one evening, till you holiday someplace in the process a definite height holiday season (which contain Sapporo in the process the Snow competition). of direction its ultimate to get reservations in case you are able to plan forward. by the way, Japan is an island united states. there is nowhere in Japan that's no longer an island. :) in case you mean you want to holiday to the quite a few tiny islands, you ought to learn beforehand via fact lots of the small islands have no vacationer lodging, and transportation innovations could be particularly constrained.
