Wani

Meaning

Station, Train Station

Word Type

noun, suffix

Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well. Usually this refers to a train station in particular, but can be any kind of station.

Reading

えき

Explanation

The kanji here uses えき as both its on'yomi and kun'yomi, so no worries here. You can go to this station or that station, and both stations will use the same reading as the kanji it comes from.
