6/11 - After waking up to the early sun, we scarfed down breakfast and dashed to the Nagoya Kintetsu train station to make the 7:10 train to Yokkaichi, which is a pretty cool place, with LED ad monitors plastered over just about every inch of empty wall space...

...including over the booth where you buy your tickets...

...good luck making sense out of this bad boy... (learning to read this reminded me of when my father taught me to *attempt* to read a horse racing table)  Fortunately for me, the Jose, Robert, Derek & Reza have all been to Nagoya before, and gave me a crash course on decoding the table.

You get your ticket then head to the turn-styles...


Here we are on the map (see the blue line, right hand side of map below), about a 20 minute ride...


...on a pretty nice car!
