After spending almost 20 minutes of anticipated waiting on the westbound platforms, an 8-car JR West N700 Series Shinkansen Set No. S6, which would operate as the Shinkansen “SAKURA” Superexpress No. 543 bound for Hakata (Fukuoka) & Kagoshima-chuo, finally entered Shin-osaka Station by around 6.37 a.m. on Track No. 21. Once all the train doors were opened, I promptly boarded the train via Car No. 6 and went into the premium Green Car (first class) cabin before securing my allocated Seat No. 12D for the coming early morning travel duration of 4 hours 05 minutes to the southern seaside port city of Kagoshima in southern Kyushu.
