THIS sounds very interesting, as we're planning a trip to Kinugawa Onsen and a direct journey from Yokohama sounds pretty damn perfect. Especially considering the fact that this run is over the JR East and Tōbu network :)

I forgot about the new line, and will be based camped out of Asukusa this fall. Looking forward to seeing it. I'm just hoping it doesn't borked up the railfanning sight-lines since the last time I fanned the area.
