Railfaniing in Japan

[Guest ___]

Ok here's the poll. I'll have to add Hokkaido to my own vote at the end of the year.

Kanto was listed twice, so rather than vote for it twice I just removed the one at the end :D

 

Also, I'm not sure that what I did was railfanning (as I wasn't a railfan then) so much as wandering around going "oooh!" at everything I saw.

Closest I've ever been to Japan was when I was in south-east Germany :/

Germany has some nice trains too. Never been there, but I know a lot of Japanese who have.

Lots of nice trains in Germany yes, but I'm mainly interesting in going to Japan for the culture. Germany isn't very Japanese in that regard ;)

I have been around Tokyo metro and JR trains all my life, riding on bullet trains to hiroshima and north to tokaido.  Rode the blue sleeping car train once as a kid, rode many different express trains and such too. 

 

On a more daily basis, i ride the Tokyo SUbway almost everyday, and the JR Yamanote line when i am in Tokyo every day.

I always ended up on the Chou line or somehow on a train that goes to Omiya. Not sure how I always end up in Omiya as I'm always on the the Chuo Line.

Where is Tohoku? D:

Odd, I could have sworn it was in there when I created the poll. And yet no one else caught that. Ok, fixed.

Awesome!

 

Kantou and Touhoku for me! :) (though I've also photographed one or two trains in Hiroshima and Kyoto)
