I’d echo this sentiment. I’ve spent a good amount of time in Tokyo (I don’t speak Japanese either, beyond simple “I am lost” and “where is the toilet” phrases), and for whatever reason I do find Tokyo’s trains easier to handle than New York’s. I can get around New York on my own without a map but that’s just because of brute force memorization and getting off at the wrong stop enough times.
