An interesting tidbit: the station platform signs at JR Central stations show the station name in _hiragana_ most prominently, then show the name in _kanji_ in smaller characters. That's the opposite of what the other JR Group companies do, which show the station name in _kanji_ most prominently and in _hiragana_ in smaller characters. I believe this is due to JR Central still following a lot of the older pre-1987 JNR conventions.
