How do you say "Where is the station?" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use えきはどこですか (eki wa doko desu ka) when you are near a station area but cannot find the station entrance or building.

Chunk or pattern

• Reusable pattern: 〜 は / どこ ですか
• Replace 〜 with the place you are looking for.
• Useful station swaps: トイレ, ホーム, きっぷうりば.

Core words

• えき: station.
• どこ: where.

Helper words and endings

• は: marks what you are asking about.
• ですか: makes it a polite question.

Practical note

If you are already inside a large station, this may sound too broad. For that case, ask for the platform, exit, or ticket gate instead.
