Two sets of E217s on the JR Sobu Rapid Line during a rare two-way layover at Tsudanuma Station in May 2020. This picture was taken shortly before JR began phasing the E217s out with E235s.
The newly-christened Light Line in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi.
Picture by me.
Translated to "Phoenix", the Hinotori is operated by the Kintetsu Railway.
The bright red colour is easily identified
Premium seat
Not so premium seat
Travels from Osaka to Nagoya in 2 hours.
The train offers comfortable journey between Osaka and Nagoya, which is cheaper than the Sinkansen!!! No more JR pass!!(They are so expensive nowaday, and it is quite hard to cover your journey cost unless you travel with JR every time, which just barely cover the cost)
And it also goes to Nara undet 35 minutes.
Oh deer!!
Huh?
No it's JR Kyushu 885 series, servicing as a limited express between Hakata and Nagasaki, also Hakata and Ōita.
Titling for faster speed on curve rail.
Still not as fast as Keisei Skyliner.
Cozy seat?
Face to face setting to increase awkwardness with strangers.
It may look impressive, but the train is ... well... pretty old. JR train outside metropolis is mostly old.
Additionally, the train is also exported (w/ modification) to Taiwan as TEMU1000 series.
Look like ICE 2.
German high speed train empire...

In Yuru Camp S03e11, this decommissioned trolley is mentioned as being in "Fujisawa Nagasawa Park" but I can't find any references to such a park online.
Does anyone know where this is?

The Abt rail system, developed in Switzerland in the 1880s, is a narrow gauge track that specializes in climbing inclines by using a 3rd track that is toothed.
The Oigawa Railway's Ikawa Line is the only Abt system in Japan.
About halfway between Tokyo and Nagano.
Here's what it looks like in the daytime:
Here's the plaque explaining it, and the cherry blossoms(?)
Can anyone translate the plaque? Japanese OCR seems to be hopeless...
Go to Japan? Play Densha De Go the train simulator in the arcade center!
You get Unreal engine 5 graphic

Not in Japan? You may play the ps4/switch version.
This is the Astram line in Hiroshima. It's a Automated Guideway Transit, so it is running on rubber wheel.
Well technically, it's an automated bus...
In year 2011, earthquake hit the Tohoku of Japan, resulting damage to the line.
After 5 days, 1/3 of the line (which is undamaged) resume operation, marking the begin of reconstruction.
On 2014/4/6, full line operation restored.
Restoration of the line marks the reconstruction of the Tohoku. We may not be able to avoid disaster, but we can still do our best to restore the destroyed.
You get Tobu,
Seibu,
Tokyo Metro,
Tokyu,
And Yokohama Minatomirai Railway running the line. (Though the Minatomirai Line is basically an extension for the Tokyu Toyoko Line)
F-liner provides express service between Yokohama and Tokyo sub center.
F stands for Fast, for around 30 minutes, you can reach Yokohama from Shibuya.
Not to be mixed up with the F train from NYC.
Children's drawing on the train.
And sushi
The famous fish market near Nakaminato is the reason why I take the line.
Exists in Keihan Keishin Line between Biwako-Hamaōtsu and Kamisakaemachi station.Although it is about 700m long track on the road, it's still a unique sight.
The reason why there is track on road due to the line is used to be a tramline, and later is converted into a underground rail. However, as the terminal is on ground, the rail needed to use its old track near the terminal, creating this unique sight.
Operated daily from Tokyo to Izumo, you can take it overnight to travel from Japan East to West location.
Also, it adds a stop in Osaka recently.
Not to be mixed up with JS Izumo, DDH-183
Lesson learnt: Check to ensure I am posting in correct community, as delete post on lemmy is quite buggy. (Which reminds me to point and call before posting)
Luxury Sightseeing Limited Express.... I can't afford it.
And forget what I post before.
Old Japanese vibe, still in operation !
All Meitetsu trains have music horn, pretty special. You may hear it when riding the μSKY Limited Express from Central Japan International Airport.
spoiler
So powerful that can cover the announcement. I hope the JR lines passengers can still hear what the announcement.
Give old Japanese vibe, still in operation !
And also contain a music horn
Used in Rapi:t (Airport express) from Kansai Airport to Namba, operated by Nankai Electric Railway.
Like a submarine on land, pretty retrofuturism.
