Travel Diary on May 1, 2021

We went to Kurosaki by local train. A foreign passenger sitting nearby seat on the train seems to be ignorant of where he should get off. So, I told him the arrival time. He got the train off at Yahata. We got off at Kurosaki to board Chikuho Electric Railway's tram.

We went back and forth by Shiokaze train on the line. From the train, we can see skyline of Shimonoseki City on the opposite side. But, it was not clear, due to rainy weather.
