Japanese school has winter holiday from December 23rd to January 6th. and most Japanese company is from December 30 to January 4th.
My family, children and I went to Hiroshima by Shinkansen then my husband headed to Hiroshima by his car later and we will go back to Hamamatsu together by car.
A New Year is the most important and big event in Japan, so many people go back to their hometown during winter holiday, there is always crowded at plat home of the Shinkansen and highway.
The first photo is at the Hamamatsu station.↑↑
There were many mother accompanied by small kids like me.
Everybody same think and way!! catch the Shinkansen before crowded.
a crew gave my children some cards when we got seats.
Japanese children love Shinkansen!! we can buy some Shinkansen goods at the stations.
This is Hamanaka lake!! after 10 minutes leaving from Hamamatsu station.
It was a nice weather in Hamamatsu that day.
After an hour, changed the view!
It was snowing view!! there is Shiga prefecture.
When snowstorm is severe, the Shinkansen run at a low speed.
Probably, Japan is interesting that a scene changes like this only by moving with the Shinkansen for 1 hour, although it is a very small country.
A crew gave that band-aids for my children when I bought lunch boxes.↑↑
Kids love the Shinkansen but the ticket is expansive.
For example, my ticket was 15,800 yen and my daughter(elementary student)'s ticket was 7,900 yen, my son was free.
Since the reserved seat was taken this time, it became comparatively high-priced.
It is about 600-km migration length that has ridden on the Shinkansen for 3 hours.
How is it compared with a foreign rapid transit railway? Isn't it high?
If buy round trip tickets all my family, it will be cost about 100,000 yen for returning my parents's house... too much...
Here is Hiroshima station↑↑
This stations is big and many shops at there.
I found a very interesting one!
That is the Kumano cosmetic brushes!! its specialty product of Hiroshima prefecture.
2011 World cup of women football, Nadeshiko Japan became a champion!! and Japanese government gave them this Kumano cosmetic brushes.
The wonderful brush for calligraphy was made in Kumano in Hiroshima Prefecture for many years.
of course, Hiroshima people know that!! Nationally, it was seldom known.
but now, many Japanese people know that!!
This Kumano brushes will be part in the good souvenir from Hiroshima.
