It was nearly 3 a.m. when I took today’s photo. Less than a half hour before I was enjoying one of Ghost’s first major performances at the Roskilde Festival. Six or seven hours after this pic I was back on the train going in the opposite direction from Copenhagen (København) to Aarhus.

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.

The first person to guess which train station in Japan I took today’s photo at wins a virtual pat on the back.

According to the Yomiuri, a new train station is going to be created on the Yamanote Line in Tokyo for the first time in over 40 years! You can see the location of the new station (and neighborhood) in the lower right portion of this photo I took back in 2010. What once was JR’s rolling stock yard, located between Shinagawa and Tamachi stations, will soon be redeveloped with a train station at its center. I’m not sure where the stock yard of trains will be relocated.
