Eki-melos are the things that I really liked about taking trains in Japan.

The chirping bird sounds to help blind users find their way to and from the platforms is also a pretty interesting design decision.

Personally I loved it. The Japanese aesthetic is subtle and delightful. Also, riding my bicycle in the countryside with very few traffic signs to mar the view. Just the necessary ones, at exactly the right places. They assume you are not an idiot, and somehow it all works out!
