Little backtrack

I got up and had a smorgasbord breakfast at the hotel before finding a way to Izumo. If I had planned better I probably could have caught the other line to the southern stop for the sunrise express but meh. There was only a bus to get directly to Izumo which cost over $100. I found if I caught a Shinkansen back to Okayama then a train to Izumo it was 30 mins longer but free so I planned that out instead.
So the summary of the next 24 hours I caught a tram to a bullet train to then get a normal train to make it to the overnight sleeper train and then lastly a Tokyo subway... It's a train day.
I got myself a Bento Box in Okayama for the 3 hour trip to Izumo. I don't know what half of it was but I ate it all and it wasn't half bad.
I like how they put the pickled plum in the centre of the rice to represent the Japanese flag.
I started to watch a Japanese Ghibli movie but soon got distracted by seeing actual build up snow outside. The longer I watched the more and more there was. The photos I took give it no justice as to see the snow on the trees was just magical. I had been wondering what I was doing wasting a day just catching trains around Japan but this made it worth it.Baca lagi
