One other question. The Japanese are relatively small people. How high are the doorposts and ceilings in the trains in Japan?
I myself am 6ft7.

You might have to duck a fair bit

Are all of these local trains? They don't look like expresstrains and don't even come close to the Shinkansen....

A mix of city and suburban trains

dirkvdberg68.bsky.social•95 days ago

Can you tell us how many different types of trains they have?
We Dutch know Intercity's, and locals. And the highspeedtrains that run to Berlin/Frankfurt or Brussels.

I wouldn’t be able to even scratch the surface. I recommend watching Japan Rail Journal on NHK for videos about all things trains

I love the sound of their train crossings.

I have seen a webcam at a train crossing in Japan and it was non stop for like 5-10 minutes or so. If you're just a regular person trying to get somewhere i felt sorry for them. But maybe they are used to it anyways.

It takes me 6 minutes to cross Pacific Coast Highway near my home while hundreds of cars roar past, spewing pollution

Are you taking the train to Kyoto? Specifically the railroad museum there? Because you should.

airlineflyer.net•95 days ago

No, but I did that last year

A train trifecta. Did you ever make it for coffee?

airlineflyer.net•95 days ago

Eventually, after a long while

Tulleys coffe shop, overlooking Sanmonya station, Kobe. Another good spot for breakfast and trains.

At least those trains can move a ton of people... meanwhile I'm waiting 5 minutes at a crosswalk to let like 3 cars go by
