Shinkansen platform

Friday, October 6th, 2006

I like taking “Shinkansen”. it’s fast and relaxing. if you have a JR pass, you can travel anywhere in Japan by Shinkansen while it’s effective. However, you cannot use JR Pass for Nozomi. you will see waiting rooms and some bento(lunch box) shops at Shinkansen platform. I got a katsu(deep-fried pork) sandwitch here. I had to wait in a line as it gets pretty busy before the departure.

Yurikamome(on the way to Oddaiba)

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

Yurikamome is an automated Line that runs around Tokyo Waterfront between Shinbashi and Toyosu. A part of the route was first opened in 1995 and all stations completely opened in 2006.
This is one of the popular Transit services as it goes to “Odaiba“, which is one of the most famous sight spots in Tokyo. I took a shot of the Fuji Television building. I’ve never been there but I’d love to visit?sometime soon.
