Experience Realistic Train Driving in Kyoto
Japanese Rail Sim: Journey to Kyoto is an immersive full motion video train simulator designed for the Nintendo Switch. Players take on the role of a train driver, navigating the scenic route from Kyoto into the mountains and back. The game emphasizes precision and punctuality, requiring players to stop the train as close to the designated hold line as possible, with a maximum allowance of 50 cm. Timeliness is also crucial, as players must not arrive too early or too late, with a tolerance of only three seconds.
In addition to driving challenges, players face penalties that can negatively impact their evaluation time. Speeding or braking too hard will result in a reduced score. Successful driving earns medals, which unlock valuable information about points of interest located near the stations. Each point of interest is visually represented and marked on an easy-to-read map, enhancing the overall experience and encouraging exploration.
