Japan Adventure

We made it! We're on the platform with only a few minutes to spare . . . We've never taken the Shinkansen this direction before. We've always gone north-east toward Osaka & Tokyo. Today we're going south-west to Fukuoka (Hakata Station). We'll be leaving Honshu Island for Kyushu Island. In the past, we've always driven down that way before & crossed over the beautiful bridge to the next island down.


That's our train -- the Kodama leaving at 7:03.


Here it comes & exactly on time . . . (of course)
