Japan Part 2: Trains

Trains and stations...

These were a big part of the travel in Japan because:
1. They were what we mostly use to get around
2. My aunt is crazy about them...
3. They are quite cool stuffs
4. Travel expenses make up a bulk of expenses


Different types of trains...


Train tickets that costs a bomb! Lucky for JR Pass!


Our first train ride on the Keisei Line.


Waiting to transfer...




Ladies only cabin! For peak periods...


Happy to get a seat!







Osaka Koen Station



Green trains




Priority seats...








Local buses at Hiroshima.




Inside!


My tights!!



Randen local train..


Foot spa in the station...



Controls!


14year olds on the train! And we know that coz of Miss Tako P!


Kyoto Station...


Crazy red hatted kids!


Hieizan-Sakamoto Station


Dodgy eye coz sitting on priority seat! Haha!


She too!


Yoshinoguchi Station!

Train conductors? They have weird moves everytime a train moves in and out of the station! Very cute!


Very comfortable train which we realised we have to pay an extra 500Yen for! Ouch!

Wooden train stations.




Stained glass in one of the Tokyo Stations ( I think is Ueno)


This is a cool escalator as it goes up then flat then up again. And Japanese really keep to the side! Tokyo to the left, Osaka to the right. The rest I forgot!


Otsuki Station...


Train with Mount Fuji patterns!



;P


Three!


Empty train! =))


Kori.. Another rainy day...









Stamps of train stations. Lucky I bought along a notebook and manage to collect some! It became a habit for us to look out for stamps in all the stations.




The hanging monorail which was really scary and fast!




Cute hey?




Lockers along the way. Most major train stations have them! Guess Japanese are shopaholics too!

People really keep to the sides! And it was a good hair day! Haha!


Matsushikaigan Station. Love the little wooden sign.


Platform...


Another cartoon painted train..

Sendai Station...

One of the local trains in Choshi where we have to get the tickets from this cute guy. He will stand at the door and announce the name of the destination!


Day passes...

One of the stations in Choshi...


Old looking isn't it?

Penning out thoughts on the guest book...


Blue train! Matches my outfit!


Another station in Choshi - Inuboh.
