Encountering Japan 2.1 | Travel. Trains. (Stations). People.

A sneak preview to the present series of Japan encounters - the pretties, and the unbelievables:

The train systems (under several train companies) in Japan are so extensive yet wonderfully integrated (Just look at the subway lines in Tokyo alone). I wondered: if every stretch of railroad in Japan were to be lined in a single file, would it form a length enough to go around the globe?

Having taken the most number of trains in my life within my two-week stint there, these journeys are definitely one of the best ways to hear, see and mingle with the Japanese. =)
