0:10 We depart from Tokyo Station. This time from the Yaesu exit.
0:25 Passing through the ticket gates.
0:38 We get on the Shinkansen. It is bound for Sendai.
0:55 The Shinkansen stops at every station, so despite it being a holiday, the train is very empty.
1:10 Departure from Tokyo Station.
1:25 The train has arrived at Sendai Station! Sendai is famous for its beef tongue.
1:40 As Ushitan Dori was full, we headed for the shopping arcade.
1:55 Beef tongue at Rikyu. This is another very popular restaurant.
2:10 It was delicious! The latest E5 series train from here. Comfortable! So cool!
2:25 After about an hour, we arrived at Morioka Station. It seems to have recently been chosen as a ‘must-visit city’ by the NewYork Times.
2:40 Morioka gourmet food is ‘cold noodles’ and Morioka beef. What a surprise, you can taste both here at Pyonpyontei.
2:55 The meat is grilled.
3:09 The cold noodles are wonderful, the noodles are firm and filling.
3:29 The meal is now complete.
3:44 This is what the restaurant looked like.
3:51 Departing Morioka Station. Further north.
4:08 We’ve arrived at Aomori Station! This is what the front of the station looks like. Sightseeing spots are concentrated in front of the station, perfect for a short sightseeing trip.
4:27 There is a strange red building on the right.
4:42 The Aomori Nebuta Matsuri Kan (Wa Rasse)! So powerful! This is an exhibition of traditional Japanese festivals. I really recommend it and you should definitely see it.
4:57 The Seikan Liaison Boat. The Seikan Tunnel has completed its role. The tunnel is going now!
5:12 This vending machine only sells Aomori’s speciality, apple juice.
5:27 Aomori Station. Actually, the bullet train doesn’t stop at this station, so you have to take a local train to Shin-Aomori Station.
5:42 That’s here. It’s an old, small train, completely different from the Shinkansen we’ve seen so far. Well, this is good.
5:57 We have arrived at Shin-Aomori Station.
6:11 We move to the Shinkansen terminal.
6:26 The last Shinkansen of the day! The last one is also an E5 series. The seats are empty. The further north you go, the more empty it is.
6:37 The Shinkansen is comfortable with no turbulence. And soon we will enter the Seikan Tunnel.
6:52 Eating apple snacks bought in Aomori.
7:07 The passage through the Seikan Tunnel takes about 30 minutes.
7:21 We have arrived at today’s destination, Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station, Hokkaido.
7:36 This station is also far from the centre of Hakodate, so we transfer to a conventional train. Hakodate Liner.
7:46 Because of the cold weather, the doors do not open automatically. Press the button.
8:01 Unfortunately it is raining in Hakodate at night.
8:16 It is cold, so hurry to the inn.
8:28 Today’s accommodation is Hotel Promote Hakodate. Here, we will plan our Hokkaido trip from tomorrow.
