I was riding an express from the airport to central Tokyo in the last train car. At some station, everyone left the car, except for me because I needed to go further. Then some lady came back into the car and hurriedly told me to leave it and when I did pointed to the next one. Apparently the last car was to be detached at the station and if it wasn&#x27;t for the help of random stranger (I&#x27;m pretty sure she wasn&#x27;t station staff because she wore civilian clothes) I would&#x27;ve been left out. While it&#x27;s just an anecdote, in my experience I didn&#x27;t find Tokyo &quot;uncaring&quot; at all. People were perfectly willing to help me all the time.
