In 2005 I took an overnight train from Tokyo to snowy Hokkaido. I was by myself for a whole month in Japan during Christmas time and I was at a very shaky, directionless part of my 20s. The train made its way north, and I became almost meditative. The view was incredible, the food was delicious, and I befriended some of the nicest people. It’s when I really fell in love with Japan and represents, for me, the most personable way to travel. People are usually tired and stressed on an airplane, and cozy and friendly on a train. Just a better time all around, IMO.
