Some brief highlights of the past couple of days were riding the Shinkansen, seeing Osaka castle and the Daibutsu, the Big Buddha in Kamakura.
Edmonton LRT could learn a few things about minimal traffic disruption, efficient timing and co-ordination of systems. Here in Japan, as in Europe, China, etc the rail systems work like clock work.
JR rail pass is a great way to travel around. In the past few days I have taken the super fast Shinkansen (up to 200 kilometres per hour) to Nagano and Osaka. Many other trains to Asakusa, Tokyo, Kamakura and Zushi.
