Yeah, much as expected, no sign of Fuji-san - waaaay too hazy/cloudy for that. So at this point it’s looking like I’ll have seen Fuji on one trip out of three to Japan #ShinOsaka #Nagoya
And gone from #kyoto in only a few minutes. #shinOsaka #nagoya

So, #ShinOsaka to #Kyoto is basically 10 minutes by Shinkansen. Give or take.

#Goddamn #IWantMeOneOfThese

For the record I am riding the Nozomi Superexpress #ShinOsaka #Nagoya
And “any minute now” would be “Right now”. :) #ShinOsaka #Nagoya

Shinkansen has arrived on the platform and I have a window seat. For what that’s worth. #ShinOsaka #Nagoya. Whole train is non-smoking, like the last one, and I’m getting off at the 2nd stop (first stop is #kyoto).

Due to leave any minute now…

45 minutes to go and my train has appeared on the schedule boards. Finally. #ShinOsaka #nagoya

On the subway to #shinOsaka to catch the Shinkansen. #Namba station isn’t QUITE as bad as Shinjuku* but still takes some navigation to find the right platform.

*MULTIPLE mazes of twisty tunnels all alike…

#ShinOsaka. #Osaka is the next stop I believe. Yes, I’ve been paying attention to the announcements.
