I've been hanging around here for a while but I've never really gotten around to posting until now. I'm going to be travelling to Japan somewhat soon and was wondering if there are resources that can get me into understanding this sort of thing more. Technical stuff (how each one works), specialist websites for Railfans, beginners guides, all appreciated, and anything else you think is relevant. Sorry if I sound like an idiot, I'm just not exactly sure how to get into this.

Have you tried wikipedia? They have good technical information, and articles on basically every line in japan and most stations.
If you're in japan and are fluent in japanese, you can buy the monthly 鉄道ジャーナル at any bookstore. That gets into pretty deep railfan territory, like timetabling and signals and stuff.

Yeah, I have. I was just hoping there was a more solid collection of resources available, if it's just Wikipedia and stuff in Japanese then that'll have to do

Talking about time tabling, what's some good software to make time table? and is there any convenient software that can be used to make rail map?
