Co-operation from passengers helps as most station stops are just 50 seconds
long.
Passengers are usually ready to get off once the doors open.
Boarding passengers help by queuing at the correct place on the station
platform.

centimetres of a specific place on the platform.

What you need to know about buying
cheap train tickets and cheap travel deals in Japan
As with any cheap travel deals, or cheap train tickets Japan Rail
Pass does have some restrictions. Before you travel Japan check with Japanese
Railways, a travel agent, or tour operator for the current terms and conditions for
using cheap train tickets or a Japanese Rail Pass for cheap travel in the
country.
Unlike some cheap airfares, the price of Japan Rail tickets closely
relate to the distance traveled. To benefit most a Japan Rail Pass is best used for
cheap travel in Japan over long distances.
For example, if you travel Japan from Tokyo to Kyoto on the first
day, and then travel from Kyoto to Hiroshima the next day, and on the third day
return travel to Tokyo - a Japan Rail Pass would be cheap travel, even though only
three days out of seven and used.
Compare that to using a Japan Rail Pass regularly over a two-week
period to travel between Tokyo and Kyoto or Osaka. In this case, buying a Japanese
Rail Pass wouldn't equate to cheap train tickets, because the travel distance
wouldn't be great enough to justify buying a 14 day Japan Rail Pass.
