    Getting TO/AROUND: Travelling to Tokyo, we took the bus/coach from Kyoto. Took us thru some pretty scenic places, hills and green countryside etc. The odd thing for me was that the highway rarely looped around the hills on winding roads, like i`m used to when i go up into the hills in India, the highway here would almost always be drilled right thru the hill. Long tunnels- made for a quick pace, but robbed the journey of some of its charm.
    Travel time Kyoto to Tokyo- 8 hours, with one stop somewhere mid way.

    Getting TO/AROUND: 5-4-3-2-1.......
    The travel time to Kyoto on the ultra-modern Shinkansen was about 2.5 hours. Compare that with the time our coach took getting us from Kyoto to Tokyo - 8 hrs!
    pity it was a night train. I missed seeing the sights whizzing past my window...

    Getting TO/AROUND: We encountered a bunch of extremely mild-mannered Japanese travellers, whose seats we had taken by accident, instead of ours. They stood around in one part of the coach, extremely reluctant to ask us to check if we had the right seat numbers etc. It was probably an hour into the journey when they finally asked and we made an embarassed correction to our seating plan! Typically japanese!
