...those are bus stops! An intercity bus (think Greyhound) stops here without having to get off the highway. But how do YOU get to the stop?

Shikoku is fairly rural, so lots of one-car trains. Love it!!pic.twitter.com/KmQo3ol4FH
That one station that keeps popping up in pics (first 2 pics here) is Shimonada, widely regarded as the most scenic train station in Japanpic.twitter.com/0mDV5abeoH

The Kotohira Railway, or Kotoden, operates around Takamatsupic.twitter.com/cglKjqzf4N
I never rode the Kotoden when I visited Takamatsu, but I did snag some pictures of their trains passing the castlepic.twitter.com/x2jowQGSNz
Something really special about that Shikoku scenery...pic.twitter.com/1272ZHsmUR
Was planning on wrapping up with these Kotoden pics but I'm getting some calls for a particular Iyotetsu site...pic.twitter.com/tisKqlJhmb
...specifically, where Iyotetsu's main line and tram line cross over each other--my kinda traffic!pic.twitter.com/4o9MnM88G1
