Total Japan _ cityside

The Total Kanagawa, Half Kanto, Teenie Weenie Bit of Japan Experience

_ Part 2 _

As even most Japanese have never heard of the Kominatotetsudo line, it would be unfair to state that it is the exclusive Total Japan Experience. After all, most Japanese history did not take place in the middle of Boso peninsula. Most ancient history did not, in fact, take place in Tokyo either, but... that is where we are heading now!

Tokyo Station

Everyone knows copper is orange-coloured, but copper domes ought to be turquoise, and it just doesn't look right to have them copper-coloured!

Then, scaling down a bit, we have Yokohama.

Then, scaling down quite a bit more, we get Yokosuka,

... and Kamakura.

But at the end of the day, it is still much more fun to tie up your boots for a family stroll up Takatoriyama!

Total Japan _ countryside

The Total Japan Experience, my way.

Or, more realistically,

The Total Kanagawa, Half Kanto, Teenie Weenie Bit of Japan Experience

Starting off in the far West with Hakone

(in cold, wet and windy mode)

(a nice warm train! Yay!)

Then, closer to home, the radish and cabbage fields of Misakiguchi.

The roughest sea I've ever seen, but also the first time I've even seen Fuji-san from there!

Then moving eastwards still, my beloved Kominatotetsudo and Isumi railroads.

Such a change form last time I went.... Maybe they sell yearly passes?
