Architecture

Some of the designs of these train stations just baffle me. Every once in a while, one falls asleep and has to get off at a random train station to catch a train heading the opposite direction. Sometimes at the smaller stations, it's impossible to get to the other side of the tracks without exiting the station and walking around to another exit. Of course, exiting the station and re-entering costs extra money. The oversleeper is forced to pay extra money or waste more time going in the wrong direction until he/she can find an accessible track going towards their desired direction. People always talk about how great the train system in Japan is, yet they never discuss how crappy some of the train stations are.
