Winding through the Japan Alps, this railway connects Gifu and Toyama via the rustic city of Takayamapic.twitter.com/r86z6dYVoz
The route goes through the former Hida province of Japan, which is where the Itomori storyline in "Your Name" takes placepic.twitter.com/zrdYFdfd0Q
The mountainous terrain ensures heavy snowfall during the winterpic.twitter.com/whC9eGYckc
Out in the boonies, trains are infrequent, but still reliable: about 12 trains per day in each directionpic.twitter.com/Dph8SPVqZz
High mountains, deep gorges, soaring bridges, dark tunnels...pic.twitter.com/Nmj9TJ1Bjl
The limited express on this line is called the "Hida" or "Wideview Hida," named for the former provincepic.twitter.com/RCbqlAoROd
I rode the Hida from Takayama to Nagoya on the evening of September 18th; too dark for exterior photos but first class was very comfortablepic.twitter.com/DNhLfsOJHo
To get to Takayama I had taken local trains--while in the city, I picked up my notorious jacketpic.twitter.com/98yKroVBoz
