How can I say

"Can you point me towards _____ Station"?

If I ever get lost, it would help to find the station of the area I am in.

Also, how would I say

"Can you point me towards the nearest book store;washroom;7-11"

Thank you.

- [ ] eki wa docchi desu ka? (Which way is [ ] station?)

- Kono chikaku ni [honya] wa arimasen ka? (Isn't there a [bookstore] near here?)
(Use [toire] for "toilet/bathroom".)

If the person whom you ask doen't know at all, you might hear "Wakarimasen" or "Shirimasen" as an answer.

If I wanted to ask "Which way is Tokyo Tower; Kiyomizudera" Or any other place, would it just be

"Tokyo Tower wa docchi desu ka?"

Or will it change?

Also, How can I say "That's OK" if someone does not know.

Thanks again.

Yes, you can use the same question for Tokyo Tower, although it is pretty easy to find- it's hard to miss a 333m high antenna!

Sorry to bring this back, but I was wondering about the pronunciation of the docchi in

"[ ] eki wa docchi desu ka? (Which way is [ ] station?)"

I think the two c's threw me off.

Is it still just pronounced do-chi?

Thanks.
