We took a train ride



Waiting in the train station in Tokyo

This picture gives you a good look at the city and farmland close to each other
The buildings in Tokyo seemed to just keep going and going

We got a quick look of Mt Fuji as we traveled on the bullet train

One of the more impressive rivers we saw during our ride

Japan has very little farmland but what they do have is very nice

A train station we passed along the way to Shimonoseki. The rail system in Japan is quite impressive.

I love the mountains here and they are pretty much everywhere.

More mountains with some farmland at their feet.

We started looking for our parking space and could not find it because all the names were in Japanese symbols. We were soon rewarded for our efforts when we saw the name Cook, and since it was the only thing in English we felt fairly confident it was meant for us. 

We will try and update some more as soon as we can. We are very busy with setting up our apartment and getting settled in. Always a joy to hear from you and thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

  1. Hey David! This is Dorian Stockton. I saw this and since I am currently living in Korea this reminds me very much of where I live. Hope you are having a great time in East Asia.
