In nearby Takaoka, the Manyosen company operates two streetcar lines--since they connect end to end, it's more like one...pic.twitter.com/heDQEQn2Wa
A little further south, in Fukui, the Fukui Railway operates a streetcar line with through service onto the Echizen Railwaypic.twitter.com/IHR7cjxW5t
Back to Japan's Pacific coast, in the city of Toyohashi, the Toyohashi Railroad operates a streetcar line as wellpic.twitter.com/zKGTkRbTI5
As we continue into western Japan, our first stop is Kyoto, home of the Keifuku Electric Railroad aka "Randen"

Randen operates two lines in northwestern Kyoto--their Kitano Line runs through the "Cherry Blossom Tunnel" (桜のトンネル)pic.twitter.com/CKocA9j4q0
Right next door in Osaka, you can find the Hankai Tramway, which runs two tram lines in the southern part of the citypic.twitter.com/1ucbbE7oka
Nankai (which runs conventional suburban rail from Osaka to Wakayama, Koya, and Kansai Airport) is Hankai's parent company.pic.twitter.com/LzRtZcWVe5
Continue west to Okayama for the Okayama Electric Tramway ("Okaden"), which inexplicably features Tama from the Wakayama Electric Railwaypic.twitter.com/gAPa4RLU1B
I've ridden on this one in Okayama, it looked like the last pic.
wild...I wonder why they use Tama on their trains?
I don't think the one I was on had Tama on it, I just remember the general shape of the streetcar. This was in 2013.
