Discussion and comments
を follows a noun or place. It indicates that that noun is the direct object of the verb, that the place is the place of departure, or that the place was passed through.

を is romanized as "wo" or "o".

The three uses of を [wo] are
1. objective / target (目的)
2. area passed through (通過点)
3. departure point (出発点)
