There's lot of leg room on the train and the seats are great. As a matter of fact it felt heavenly to just sit for a while. We've been on the go throughout the trip and we must have walked about a zillion miles by now. Lunch boxes were served and we chatted as we watched the Tokyo hustle and bustle fade away. The scenes changed to suburbia then rice fields and back to suburbs before we reached our destination, Osaka, the third largest city in Tokyo. |

The rooftops of Japan are very different from what we're used to seeing in the U.S.. I'll try to get you all some close-ups, they are colorful and varied. |
When Mt. Fuji came into view I'm surprised the train didn't tip over to the right. Everyone wanted a view, everyone wanted a photo. |

The food cart went up and down the aisle. My friend Rusty bought herself some mushroom mountains. They were little chocolates shaped like mushrooms. They tasted like Nestle's crunch. Rusty shared! |

These are scrumptous little lunch boxes of sushi, veggies and other Japanese foods that you can buy from a little booth before you get on the train.

These were two of the cutest little children. Actually there are really adorable children everywhere. Whenever you ask if you can take their photos they give a peace sign. When the pictures are taken it's customary and nice to show them to the children. They always, always, always, giggle. These two sweetie pies were working on origami and when the train came to the station they gave the little folded birds they had been working on to the JFMF women sitting behind them. |
