    If you like trains, it is necessary to go there. Besides the trains, they also feature the IT technologies used for ticketing. That is truly the nerd icing on the train cake.

  26. Day 31. Tokyo, Japan.
    6 July 2025.
    Today is a day I've really been looking forward to. The Tokaido Shinkansen (bullet train) to Tokyo. It didn't disappoint! It was like floating, so smooth & quiet. An superb experience.
    We arrive in Tokyo late afternoon & after sorting out at the apt, we go for a meal & a quick walk around the Nishi-Nippori area we are staying in. Early bedtime, early rise tomorrow.
