Yoshiyuki’s photos of
A. New year train at Choshi station taken on this years’ new year day.
B. Hayabusa & Komachi at Tokyo station.

Pretty good photo of Choshi Electric Railway!      https://postacollect.wordpress.com/2015/12/14/chiba-3-choshi-electric-railway-%E9%8A%9A%E5%AD%90%E9%9B%BB%E6%B0%97%E9%89%84%E9%81%93/

 

The second picture has the Komachi train; a high-speed shinkansen service between Tokyo and Akita and the Hayabushi train; travels  between Tokyo and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto.

Is this a rare scene? The two Shinkansen trains nose to nose?

Very nice shot with the cherry blossoms.

This is good, funny stuff. Notice the words at the the bottom. It’s pretty good vocabulary.

Our man in Japan

I don’t watch a lot of new TV shows, but earlier this year I stumbled across a fun show on Amazon Prime. It’s called James May: Our Man in Japan. It’s a docuseries (documentary TV series) that follows a British guy, James May, on a journey across Japan. As the James travels from Hokkaido to Kyushu, he goes to a lot of interesting places, meets some fascinating people and has some unbelievable experiences. If you have a chance, check it out and let me know what you think!
