Akemi figures that my waiting here in Kofu for 20 minutes is a waste of precious time... How wrong she is she will likely never truly comprehend.
Instead of working an hour longer in Tokyo then rushing to Shinjuku to jump on a direct train to Kobuchizawa, arriving at 17:01 when the meeting with all the staff out here is supposed to start at 5pm, I opted for a train that leaves an hour earlier and stops for 20 minutes in the mountain city of Kofu.
And OMFG I am so glad I did! The mountains! The rivers! The forests turning that gorgeous Cap'n Crunchberry red/orange/yellow! The rice paddies and more!
The air is gorgeous! It feels sooo good to be OUT of the Big Rice Bowl after two months.
And this old train is just like the one that ran from Fukui to Katsuyama... Only about six times longer!
Wow... I can breathe again!
Jeez it sounds beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteOnly place our trains stop for 20 minutes is at the end of the lines and then, it's only really 10 minutes and it's not pretty to stay and look at.
