Riding the Underwater Bullet Train to Hokkaido JAPAN

Patreon TShirts With only a week or so left in my Japan trip, I set out to finally make the trip to the northern island of Hokkaido. In all of the times I have been to Japan, I never actually made it out there. So, I decided to go all the way to the northernmost tip of the country using my JR Rail Pass. First up, I left Saitama and headed to Omiya Station, where I would take the Hayabusa train on the Tohoku Hokkaido Shinkansen bullet train to the first Japanese city opened to trade called Hakodate. But first I had to take the train, which passed through Morioka, the city where I did a homestay in high school. Then, the train went through the Seikan Tunnel, which is a 20 plus mile tunnel that goes under the Tsugaru Strait.
