Yes some meanings are quite similar and others differ. The pronunciation and readings can be different too.

Is is true that kanji characters bears the similar meaning to chinese characters?

I try to learn station names while riding on the train. I wish there was a OCR translator on mobile phones. That would be nice. ^^

If all else fails the tall building is always a great option ^_^

Hehe, I remember when I was in staying in Shinjuku, and passed through the Shinjuku station almost every day… I was there for about two weeks or so, and I rarely found the same exit

Back then I didn’t know many kanji, but luckily there was a really tall building close to my hotel, so as long as I saw that building, I could just walk in that direction and I would eventually find my way home
