Ah, the trains. I am loving the trains! How long would you say it will take for a man to travel and visit all places in Japan with a train station? I mean, the most remote places!

The number of train stations in Japan is decreasing due to reasons such as railway closures, but there are still apparently more than 9,000. I can't even imagine how much money and time it would take to visit all of them.

Perhaps if this is a part of some youtube show, and you have sponsors? I do agree that the time will probably be in the years. Well lived years!

These shots make weI wish we had better passenger light rail communication. Japan has invested in the right infrastructures, it seems.

Come to think of it, the fact that Japan, with so many mountainous regions, has such an extensive railway network might be nothing short of a miracle.

A testament to ingenuity and vision. Common goals. Progress while maintaining tradition. These are things I admire. The varied geography interests me as well. Someday I will appreciate it in person.

I hope that one day you will visit Japan. In Japan, you can experience a variety of nature and culture just by taking a short train ride from the city to the suburbs.
