The Ōmura line runs along the seaside of Ōmura bay. We took the slow train from Nagasaki to Arita to see the views. Change in Haiki.

I've written 19 posts and over 20,000 words on my latest trip to Japan, doing things like visiting Ghibli Park, the snow, teamLab, Shikoku and riding a suburban maglev and a nobi-nobi compartment on Japan's only regular sleeper service.

> This is a all-directional railway crossing signal found in Japan. Both the top and bottom lights flash when a train is coming - visible from every angle.
> I took this photo of a railroad crossing at night. It shows the gates coming down and the alarm going off.

Okinawa Urban Monorail
Talking about Okinawa…For me, Okinawa is a island where those the US army stationed and “a foreign country but does not require passport to enter” as describe by the Japanese. The only existing railway on Okinawa connect Naha Airport to Shuri station since 2003, with extension to Tedako-Uranishi open at 2019.

Pushing urban express train service to a maximum extend. [https://ani.social/pictrs/image/11936bd0-4607-43c2-8bd9-fcf283bfadbc.webp] Maintenance train. (so mysterious that the official website does not list any detail about it) I hate to say, but monorail is pretty expensive and hard to maintenance. And monorail…a sort of American thing? I must say, Okinawa is influenced deeply by the American after world war. [https://ani.social/pictrs/image/d8d5e646-83e3-4d77-8b76-d9263d382862.webp] Freedom delivery! If I have a chance, I would visit the army base… to see if I can send a USPS package from there.
Upcoming JR East E10 Sinkansen
(source from official twitter account of JR East) The Upcoming E10 Sinkansen announced by JR East. Hmm, based on the information provided (source [https://www.jreast.co.jp/press/2024/20250304_ho03.pdf]), it has a tiling system installed, and some fancy seat. It was said that it would be operated at 2030. Green car seat [https://ani.social/pictrs/image/3ffb9c4a-f631-4d61-8fb7-c3a880879c40.webp] Regular seat [https://ani.social/pictrs/image/ccd773f9-5927-49a2-b053-1fcf4c894241.webp] [https://ani.social/pictrs/image/67a17340-fd9f-46b1-9fbc-5b4c665547b4.webp] TRAIN DESK… named by JR East. I don’t know what is it for [https://ani.social/pictrs/image/da0c4a01-79d7-4786-9540-d600dabb22f7.webp] [https://ani.social/pictrs/image/0dc3bde3-3191-44c0-854b-c8d04ed2dc07.webp] (can it really reduce sound?) The Green car seat oddly look similar to those used by Cathay Pacific [https://ani.social/pictrs/image/10e762c2-f964-49a5-96bd-10f09e70c743.webp] and above image is capture from video, which you may want to see at ANN news: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=HKp2djG04YU [https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=HKp2djG04YU] And the maximum speed (under operation) is still set at 320 km/h…I expect the speed to be higher
