Hokuto – Japan Day 21 – life in the old lane

Today was a transit day. It’s 14 hours and 3 trains to Tokyo. So, I decided to do two trains today and one train tomorrow. Getting me into Tokyo at about 2:30 in the afternoon. Rather than getting in after 9:00 tonight.

Ordinary trains today fast shinkansen tomorrow.

There was a lot of Green out the window. Agricultural and Forest.

Also a lot of gray and water. Fog, rain, ocean, Rivers and lakes.

Interesting public art outside my hotel. It was raining so I didn’t walk down to see what the front of it looked like.

And a discovery.

These things frequently showed up at breakfast. Always cooked. But I never tried one. Today I discovered they are carnivorous sea snails. I have eaten my share of escargot. But carnivorous sea snails are a stretch.
