Talk:Roadside station

Title
I kind of think "Michi-no-eki" would be better. The English name makes it sound like a band, especially with the capitalization. Certainly no one will search for "Roadside Station". I've been to one of these places, and I would have recognized a transliteration; the translation elicited no Japan-related thoughts in me. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 11:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I was bold, especially because the French were already using the transliteration. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 11:58, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I appreciate the issues you brought up, but I think this page on the MLIT website shows fairly conclusively that the official English translation is "Roadside Station." It doesn't really matter that the French Wikipedia uses the romanization, and I have no idea what you mean by "it sounds like a band."  A redirect would take care of people searching for "michi no eki."  I'm going to revert the move.  -Amake (talk) 12:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree that "Michi-no-Eki" would be a better title than the current one, since we're talking about the ones in Japan. If not "Michi-no-Eki," then we should use the term from the official website: "Roadside Rest Area."Nathan.elchert (talk) 21:35, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
