I was using the Hyperdia to check on the time tables.
I want to go to Nagasaki train station.
the options show me
Nagasaki(Nagasaki)
nagasakiekimae
and nagasakidaigakumae
which one should I chose?
nagasakiekimae and nagasakidaigakumae
Hi there!
For Nagasaki train station use Nagasaki(Nagasaki).
Nagasaki eki mae means in front of the Nagasaki station, so this is probably a bus stop. You will find this a lot in Japan when riding a bus where you will hear an announcement xxxx - Mae, this simply means in front of. Pretty handy to know!
The same is true for Nagasaki Daigaku Mae, meaning in front of Nagasaki University (Daigaku means University).
I hope this helps!

what about Nagasaki and Nagasaki- chuo station?
sorry it should be kagoshima and kagoshima- chuo
Kagoshima Chuo is the new station in Kagoshima where the Shinkansen stop, so this is probably the station you'd want to use.
Kagoshima is the old Kagoshima station but only local trains stop there.
