Originally I had planned to spend the last day of my JR Pass in Kanazawa but I was tired of seeing old districts and temples so I thought I’d spend the time returning to Shin-Takaoka and visit what I didn’t manage to cover, the coastal area of Himi. Instead of the first train ava...
Haven’t been much of an early morning start this journey round compared to previous trips where I would get up at 5am to get ready for the early train. It was almost 3 hours to get there from Ueno so I put in the effort this time for the 6:30 train. Took the Hakutaka bullet train...
Kicked off the morning by burning time admiring the sculptures outside Yonago Station while I waited for the hourly train to Sakaiminato. There are a lot of creative statues around Yonago Station as you walk to the cultural centre. Sculpture Road was lined with them. They didn't...

Another place I've never been in before but the sound of old transport sounded like it would be an interesting place to get used to my DSLR and lens. Entering the Glasgow Museum of Transport, which is about a 5 to 10 minutes walk from Glasgow University, this set up caught my eye. Makes you feel like you've gone back in time, doesn't it?...
