When I was there I did go a bit crazy with the camera - and hanging around Tokyo Station, waiting for some to leave and more to arrive.

Department stores have huge model train sections and shops like Tokyu Hands have a lot of train memorabilia. I bought a keyring that plays the music from Ikebukuro. Also, when I caught the bullet trains I saw a few people taking photos as it arrived. <br />Have you ever read the book Hokkaido Highway Blues? You might find it funny.sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-50462425728049596962010-11-03T12:48:10.646+09:002010-11-03T12:48:10.646+09:00So funny--I had no idea there were so many differe...So funny--I had no idea there were so many different types of train lovers! ;-)Deb in Hawaiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753889028487254096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-42140666573361755962010-11-03T06:40:29.706+09:002010-11-03T06:40:29.706+09:00Good morning Kat,

Luckily I've never met/seen any in person. <br /><br />Wonder if you saw the train vs. foreign man video which was doing the rounds on TV last week. A TV cameraman was taking film of a train and enthusiasts standing back from the track as to get the overall picture. The train vs. man gentleman was standing right next to a train track (at track level) taking video or photos of a departing train (-which was obviously something special) on the opposite track. He was then nearly taking out by an express which suddenly raced through the station on the track right next to him. Luckily he was concentrating so much on the departing 'special' train that he was pretty fixed in position otherwise he would have surely been injured. Anyway it made for an interesting video.<br /><br />Hope you have a great Culture Day.<br /><br />TKTamakikathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15224862682852595634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-58571745010344341942010-11-03T05:34:09.020+09:002010-11-03T05:34:09.020+09:00I guess I would fall under the category of nori-te...I guess I would fall under the category of nori-tetsu - it would be cool to ride a bunch of different ones all over Europe.

I guess the UK equivalent would be the infamous trainspotters - but it doesn't seem anything as varied as what you're describing in Japan! Haha, I knew someone whose name was Tetsuo and now I wonder...:)<br /><br />P.S. Have you read travel writer Bill Bryson's "Notes from a Small Island"? Your post made me think of his hilarious color commentary on train-obsessed people in the UK. :)Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08389719396641163323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-11319511509653614382010-11-03T00:07:51.074+09:002010-11-03T00:07:51.074+09:00Hi Kat - Loved this post.... it's both funny, ...Hi Kat - Loved this post.... it's both funny, yet interesting!KirkKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877072133631180313noreply@blogger.com
