Travel diary on February 24, 2014

I started my travelling from my university. From Osaka, I boarded Special Rapid Service train to Himeji, where I ate Ekisoba for dinner. Ekisoba is the local noodle in Himeji

And took train to Kamigori, which is the origin of Chizu Express Line. The line is a shortcut route for Limited Express train "Super Hakuto" and "Super Inaba". The former train connects Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe and Tottori. The latter train connects Okayama and Tottori.
So, rail tracks are constructed with higher quality to have those trains run at 140km/h.
Then, I experienced comfortable ride on local train.
