All 135 kana the engine knows, with every spelling it will accept — generated from the game's own typing engine, so it cannot drift from what actually works.
chatyacyaHepburn is the default display style: it is what you see written under each station name. Kunrei-shiki (si, tu, sya) can be chosen on the setup screen instead. That choice only changes what is displayed — every spelling in these tables is accepted either way.
The 46 kana of the standard chart. Where Kunrei-shiki spells a kana differently — し as si, ち as ti, つ as tu, ふ as hu — both spellings are accepted.

A full-size kana followed by a small ゃ, ゅ or ょ. You can also type these as their two kana separately — しゅ as shi then lyu — though the direct spelling is shorter.

Combinations used to write loanwords and non-Japanese names. Station names need them more often than you would expect — the ゲートウェイ in Takanawa Gateway, for one.

Typed with an l or x prefix when they stand alone. The katakana長音 mark ー is simply a hyphen.

A small っ doubles the first consonant of the mora that follows it: っか is kka, っち is cchi (from chi). It can also be typed explicitly as ltu or xtu followed by that mora, and a っ at the very end of a word takes only those explicit forms.

| っぷ | ppu | ltupuxtupultsupuxtsupu |
| っ | ltu | xtultsuxtsu |
ん is a single n when the next mora starts with a consonant other than n or y — んば is nba. Before a vowel, before y, or before another n, a single n would be ambiguous, so it is not accepted there: んあ must be nna or xna. Typing nn always works, in every position.

| んじ | nji | nnjinnzixnjixnzi |
| んあ | nna | xna |
| んや | nnya | xnya |

Long vowels are typed out in full, exactly as the kana are written: とうきょう is toukyou, not tōkyō or tokyo. The katakana long-vowel mark ー is typed as a plain hyphen.
| Kana | Hepburn | Also accepted |
|---|---|---|
| ー | - | — |
| とうきょう | toukyou | — |
| しんじゅく | shinjuku | — |
Romaji input is not one fixed spelling system. Hepburn and Kunrei-shiki spell the same mora differently — し is shi or si, つ is tsu or tu — and this game accepts both, so you can type the way your fingers already know.
The tables below are produced by the game's own tokenizer each time this page renders. There is no hand-maintained copy to fall out of date: if a spelling is listed here it is accepted in play, and if it is accepted in play it is listed here.
A dash means there is nothing more to show — no separate Kunrei-shiki spelling, or no alternates beyond the canonical one.
