I am on the weirdest train yet.

I booked the HIGH RAIL train, which is billed as a stargazing train.

I thought I was getting a train where you look at the stars from the train.

But no, it's a train where you go to the station near the Nobeyama Radio Observatory, get out for 40 minutes, and try to see stars from the parking lot.

Oh, and there's a detailed guided explanation in Japanese. And a small planetarium on board.

Weird.

At least they have good beer! 🍻

Star-themed train seat turned towards the window

@notjustbikes angled seat looks cool. If there were anything to see out of the window? (Ie it weren’t dark!)

@jon Yeah, they'd be great if I could see anything other than glare.

I wish they would turn off the lights so that I could see something out the window!

They also run this train during the day so I guess that's what the seats are for. I'm sure the forests are lovely when it's light outside. 🤷‍♂️
