How much typing is this?

Typing every station name on this line takes 308 keystrokes, an average of 8.8 per station. The longest name is 東広島 (higashi-hiroshima) at 16 keystrokes; the shortest is 厚狭 (asa) at 3. Those counts come from running each name's kana through the game's own romaji engine, so they are what your fingers actually do — not the length of the printed spelling.

Along the way: 0 names contain a small っ, which doubles the next consonant; 3 contain a small ゃ, ゅ or ょ, where the engine accepts both the Hepburn and Kunrei spellings (sha or sya, shu or syu); and 0 end in ん, whose trailing n folds into whatever comes next rather than standing alone.
