Seishun 18 Day 2
Hello, travelers. This is Kumi. Picturesque Japan Blog introduces you to an inexpensive train journey around Japan. This is Day 2.
06:14 Maibara - 06:23 Nagahama
Got off the train at Nagahama station where trains are very few...
I chose this station because the distance from the station to the lake is kind of short.
This is Nagahama Castle.
Lake Biwa.
Okay, let me head for Tsuruga.
07:00 Nagahama - 07:36 Tsuruga
This is a train but has the ticket machine.
At Tsuruga station.
Going to the platform of Obama Line.
Mikata Goko (Five Lakes).
09:46 Higashi-maizuru -10:29 Fukuchiyama
Arrived at Fukuchiyama station.
Had a quick breakfast.
11:12 Fukuchiyama - 12:32 Toyooka
As I had 30 minutes till the next train, I decided to explore a bit around Toyooka station.
Okay. Back to the station.
Wow! Trains here have this gap.
13:02 Toyooka - 13:16 Kinosaki-onsen
Arrived at Kinosaki-onsen station.
Time to enjoy hot spring!
Some people were enjoying foot bath.
After taking a bath, I explored a bit around the town.
Back to the station.
14:57 Kinosaki-onsen - 15:52 Hamasaka
Arrived at Hamasaka station.
Had 27 minutes, so I walked around a bit.
Back to the station.
Today's final ride to Tottori.
16:19 Hamasaka - 17:10 Tottori
You need to open and close doors by yourself. This is quite surprising for the people from Tokyo.
Arrived at Tottori station and saw this cute train.
A pink mailing box!?
Enjoyed sushi and sake with my friend from Tottori.
Stayed at a very traditional inn.
I decided to leave early to see Lake Biwa. It was before 6am.

Does my journey look like a triathlon? LOL
This is not exactly how I traveled, but to show you the distance.
