A Video of our train trip from Toyohashi (豊橋 “Bountiful Bridge”) to Hamamatsu (浜松 “Beach Pine”) by means of the Tokaido Main Line, this being the fifth segment of our epic roundabout trip across the Ise-Bay to Shizuoka.
The ride takes us through a mix of fields and towns with some forests, though notably the balance leads much more towards settled areas than on the Atsumi Hantou, with this being next to the Tokaido Main Line and all.
One of the rice fields that we pass by is, in fact, presently in the process of being harvested, though the cure little rice field harvesting truck is out of sight again almost as soon as it appears.
The track also runs more or less parallel to the Shinkansen track, which crosses over us a couple of times, and runs parallel as we cross the mouth of Hamanako. At one point I even manage to catch a train of the Shinkansen on video as it rapidly zooms past us. I wonder if Bea and Brett are aboard one of the Shinkansen trains that overtook us on the way here.
Once past the bridges leading across Hamanako, it’s pretty much town and city all the way to Hamamatsu.
