Riding the trains is one of the pleasures of traveling in Japan. Always on time, always clean, and with an extensive network connecting big cities and small towns. This is a train journey from Kumamoto to Misumi on the island of Kyūshū, Japan. …
Misumi is about an hour ride southwest of Kumamoto. The route passes by beaches and mudflats, though the tides weren’t quite right for the most scenic views. Misumi is a small town with one notable landmark, Pyramid by the Sea.
