Guiding: Telling someone how to change trains

Good evening!
The end of school will come soon. I feel "Time flies." is true.
On December 31, 2014, my youngest brother came to Tokyo.
He is now a member of a baseball club and practices baseball almost every day, so the end and beginning of the year were the only holiday term.
One of his hobbies is taking trains like me, so he planed to come to Tokyo by Shinkansen.
He knows how to get to Tokyo Station but doesn't know how to get to Chofu, where I live.
This was why I had to pick him up at Tokyo Station.
Before he came, my mother had said to us "This is the last time to pick up at the station. It's time to remember the way. So Shinnosuke, show your brother how to change trains and get to Chofu this time so that he can do that next time."
I thought it was very difficult because to get to Chofu the earliest, it is essential to change trains at Tokyo Station and Shinjuku Station, both of which are two of the most complicated stations in Japan, and especially Shinjuku Station is said to be a "maze," but I tried.
First, I made him decide which gate to use every time and take a picture of the view from the gate.
Next, I ordered him to take some pictures of guidance boards and platform number.
If he can take a right train at Tokyo Station, it's almost the end because all he has to do at Shinjuku Station is to find a big transfer board for Keio Line, which he is familiar with.
So I only told him to find the board.
I am afraid that he can do as he was told to.
Guiding was hard but enjoyable for me! lol
I think I like teaching someone something. lol
