Isumi Railway


Isumi Railcar - Japan  2017

Isumi Railcar Interior - Japan  2017

Finally . . . the famous Isumi Railroad! We purchased an all-day ticket, which we didn't really need because we ended up only going to one town. Actually, did anyone ever check our tickets? Maybe once.

Japanese trains are the greatest.

I can still remember the station agent, in his dark blue suite and hat, with his pocket watch, counting off the seconds to the exact time of departure. So efficient!

I took the Shinkansen from Aomori to Tokyo a couple of times--like riding in a jet. Zoom.

Also, on the local runs, there were these cute little ladies selling bento boxes, which they carried in a little tray, like old-time cigarette girls.

Bento boxes are great!

I could be misremembering, but I think that one could also purchase a can of beer from the ladies. Although I always ended up with Coke Zero.
