So mid-day, we departed from Kanazawa’s magnificent railway station on the ‘Thunderbird Express’ bound for Osaka. Our actual destination for later that day was Hiroshima. Unfortunately, because of the impending storm that was due to hit Japan, (Typhoon Lan) we had a ‘slight’ delay! We’d had several days of rain and since leaving Tokyo, it just wasn’t letting up – now we could see why!
After an hour or so we came to a halt. With the winds getting up and rain lashing down, we rolled into a small local station, JR railway shut down the network for safety and so the long night began . . .
In the morning and because of an over night power outage, we were bussed to another station 30 mins away to continue our journey and eventually (22hrs later) arrived in Hiroshima (via Kyoto) early afternoon.
No signs of major damage, except a lot of trees down and some roof tops missing – fortunately for the locals!
