Let's start today in suburban Tokyo on the Ryutetsupic.twitter.com/HEHMyViDuL
This is a very short line running from Mabashi on the Joban Main Line out to Nagareyama; only six stationspic.twitter.com/aWzSaE6OAy
Also in the suburbs; the Shin-Keisei Line. The bright pink color scheme is very new; used to use brown (and still does on oldest equipment)pic.twitter.com/6tUzhYLwQN
The northern terminal of Shin-Keisei is at Matsudo Station, which it shares with the Joban Main Linepic.twitter.com/9QuEeAQkG4
The northern and eastern suburbs of Tokyo aren't remotely as glamorous as the southern and western suburbs...pic.twitter.com/mwlpZHFywa
If you're familiar w "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time," the train she falls in front of is Shin-Keisei (old colors):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkxg8ter_8k …
The last suburban railway for today is the Hankyu company, serving Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobepic.twitter.com/i1z5GYfCd7
Their Osaka terminal, called Umeda, is the busiest station in West Japanpic.twitter.com/z2LdWjX2ZR
The striking mahogany color scheme is my favorite thing about Hankyu...looks great at nightpic.twitter.com/aeBygXcOyL
Heading out to the interior of West Japan--this is the Kisuki Linepic.twitter.com/HhoLNG4URj
This is one of several routes winding between the mountains of the Chugoku region--inland Honshu west of Kobepic.twitter.com/Wkxi78C4ID
It's much warmer in West Japan than in Massachusetts, but snow isn't unheard of...pic.twitter.com/saJ2vR1ULn
Vast forested hillscapes + one-car trains = a fun game of "spot the train"pic.twitter.com/QYJ3aBNyrG

...stopping at the forgotten villages of an older Japan along the waypic.twitter.com/EYZ10aYJdx

visiting your hometown; you ride a sequence of trains from the heart of the city to the heart of nowhere--get out, the air says "I'm home"pic.twitter.com/Ziqh35Iyx3
They use a newer model for rapid and express servicepic.twitter.com/OORBlso6qJ
looks like someone made anime art of the Sanko Line too listening to an acoustic cover of "Country Roads" while posting, just rightpic.twitter.com/hZcRhNXqcF
Heading back east again but staying in West Japan--this is the Kisei Line, a long coastal routepic.twitter.com/FtMXcsnfl0
this route is insanely long, with a ton of stations, all in mountainous coastal land with very low populationspic.twitter.com/k7cXCMccum
