富山LRTと宇都宮LRTの建設費を比較するのは、山形新幹線と東北新幹線の建設費を比較すると同じ考え方です。宇都宮LRTはその他の市内交通(地下鉄、新交通システム)の建設費や運営費と比べると、非常に安いです。又、国内の最高のLRTになります。環境と人に優しい交通手段です。

Japan's rice shortage (panic buying) is over now that the new 2024 rice is available in the stores. However prices are currently around 600-700 yen per kilo of rice, while they used to be around 300-350 yen.

"Passing an exam" is "合格 gōkaku" in Japanese. "Pentagonal" is "五角 gokaku", although in this case you should pronounce it gōkaku. So during the exam season Meitetsu had one "gōkaku" train to support students taking exams, with pentagonal handgrips! 名鉄の合格電車と五角のつり革

Many Japanese companies close down for the new year holidays until 4th January, and start again on the 5th. This year the 5th is a Friday, so after opening for one day, they close down again for three days for a long weekend. Why? Because they always start on the 5th...

その図では日本の公共交通の問題は良く分かる。緑の「BRT」は一番大きいですが、BRTは数カ所しかない。LRTとモノレールも少ない。なので、日本の公共交通では、輸送力2,000~10,000人/hと速度15~35 km/hの交通手段は、実は多くの都市で何もない。日本の鉄道は素晴らしいが、それ以外はほとんどダメ。

色々といいたい事はあるけど、一点だけ。 「BRTはLRTよりも表定速度が高い」事になってるけど、これは国交省が軌道法の最高速度規制を放置して、実質専用軌道ですらLRTの高速化を拒み、貶めてる「行政の不作為の結果」そのものではないか?#ちょっと怒ってる #LRT #BRT

Meitetsu was delayed this morning due to an accident, and the main line was closed for more than 1 hour. Of course 'train delay certificates' were issued. If Deutsche Bahn would issue such certificates, they would probably run out of money to buy paper for those within a week!

This is a typical "community bus" in Japan, with irregular departure times and long gaps between buses. It's not a useful mode of transit, but a few people rely on them. This one in Inabe city (Mie prefecture) doesn't run on weekends and holidays, but it's free of charge!

No walking on escalators in Nagoya anymore. A long overdue campaign!

"Tramway Day" was first held in 1995. June 10th (6/10) was chosen because "ro" for "roku" (=6) and "den" similar to English "ten" (=10) make up ROmen DENsha (=tramway). That explanation sounds far-fetched, but Twitter is full of #路面電車の日.

ファミレス「ガスト」の意味はドイツ語の「Gast」(=お客様)だと思った。しかし、スペイン語の「gusto」(=味)だそうです。今わかった、ビックリ! I am surprised to learn that the "Gasuto" restaurant has nothing to do with German "Gast" (=guest), but Spanish "gusto" (=taste). (1/2)

Decaying infrastructure in Japan, unfortunately a sad but true fact. This wooden bridge has been closed for years. However, this bridge is also a case of "too much infrastructure", as there are two other bridges only a few metres away, so tearing it down won't be a problem.

A gift shop targeting overseas tourists in Japan. Just give it a name that sounds most "Japanesque" and exotic, and they will come and buy? 「侍お土産」 インバウンド観光客のためのお土産店ですね。ちょっと変な店名でしょう・・・
