Thoughts while traveling at 186 mph

In my mind travel by train defines transportation in Japan. That and walking, but I can't walk this fast.
The ease of use, clean facilities, punctuality, and professional demeanor of the crew never cease to amaze me.

We rode the Hikari from Tokyo to Kyoto, then local trains to our final destination Ibaraki.


The smooth ride lulls one to relax. The lady selling sandwiches, ice coffee, and beer is always there when you need her. Really, is there  better way to travel?

Look out the window and see the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other.

Dark peaks in the distance covered in bamboo slope down into the sprawl crammed in what little flat space remains until the cemented coast drops into the sea.



















Looking forward to finally getting to drop of our luggage so we can start moving around with more ease...
