In a rather extreme edition of #LatourDetour, we have now visited Rinku, Izumisano, and Iharanosato, Japan.

Me in sunnies on a Japanese local train, grinning way too widely and gesturing towards the empty seats behind me

A stone carved guard dog in front of a shrine

Info sign at platform 2 of a train station, with a train in the background. The 9:55 am departing train is the one bound for Wakayamashi (NK45). The next train is the 10:02 am rapid train to Kansai Airport

A lone man stands on a man-made stone barrier, looking out over the water to the airport in the other side of the bay. Blue sky, sunny

BTW: even though Deutsche Bahn cannot reasonably be blamed for the events that resulted in an unexpected and very brief visit to Japan… I had planned to take a train from the airport to the mainland, but that train wasn’t running that morning, so as I entered the replacement bus, it felt like I still got Deutsche Bahned in spirit…
