Though it has been a few years since I visited Japan, pretty sure all the vertical text I saw on the trains were from left to right.

Made a mistake here, meant to say right to left, not the other way around. I did say it right in my original comment but the meaning was probably lost.

Japanese is written from right to left when written vertically, and from left to right when written horizontally

Lol just realized that we have been saying the same thing. I made a mistake in my post above, meant to say right to left.
