Train Connections

shinkansen train aerial view

From the 17th floor of the Kitatopia building in Oji I noticed this rather strange sight. If you look closely you’ll see that there are two, totally different trains connected. I think the one in the rear is a shinkansen. They weren’t parked either. They were moving right on through. I don’t think I ever saw this in Japan before.

The park in the upper right portion of this photo is called Asukayama Park, a great place to visit if you are in Tokyo with kids.

    Hi, there. Nice blog… About the train- it is a Tohoku Shinkansen plus Ltd Exp Tsubasa (aka “Yamagata Shinkansen”). The Tsubasa is similar to the usual Shinkansen train but can run on non-dedicated conventional tracks.
