Travel diary on Feb 7, 2013

To save money, I took an overnight expressway bus from Osaka-Abenobashi to Iwakuni.


In front of Iwakuni station, only two stores were open as far as I found. One of them was Hotto-Motto, which sells lunch pack and where I bought Nori Bento*1.

I bought a single ticket for Kushigahama ,and entered the station. Though the train for Tokuyama via Gantoku Line was stopping aligned to the edge of the platform, doors were closed and drivers were chatting.

I wonder why they didn't open the doors.

About 15 minutes before departure, doors were opened.
While I was on the train, a lot of high school students boarded the train, which is often seen along rural rail lines.

At Kushigahama, I got off the train, and out of the station.

SUO-HANAOKA is the main station?


In front of the station, I found a post which is used for throwing away porn comics. Who posted such books into the post?

From Kushigahama, local train took me to Iwakuni and changed trains there for Hiroshima.

I went to a factory where explanatory meeting of a company was held. And, accidentally, I encountered my friend. So, after the meeting, I ate out to Okonomi-Mura in Hacchobori with him.

And, we moved to Hiroshima station to stay at a cafe until my departure.
5 minutes before my train's departure, we left each other. And, I took a train for Itozaki.

I went home as usual after that.
