Thank you for watching!
I’m at Kyoto Station. Today, I would like to take two Hello Kitty trains and visit Himeji Castle from Kyoto Station. First, take the Limited Express “Haruka” from Kyoto Station to Shin-Osaka Station. Hello Kitty Express! Foreign tourists are taking pictures because of its cute appearance. The seats are also Kitty. Kitty on the wall.
We are finally leaving Kyoto Station. Since it is a limited express, the speed is also fast. I arrived at Shin-Osaka Station in no time. Just kidding. It takes about 30 minutes from Kyoto Station to Shin-Osaka Station. The door is of course Hello Kitty.
After the Hello Kitty Limited Express, take Hello Kitty Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka Station to Himeji Station. I haven’t bought a Shinkansen ticket yet, so I’d like to buy one at the ticket office next to the Shinkansen platform. The ticket vending machine has an English menu, so it’s convenient.
The souvenir shop is full of people. Crowded. This time, I want to buy Hello Kitty original goods on the Shinkansen, so I’m patient. There is still time before the departure of Hello Kitty Shinkansen, but I want to meet her at the platform, so I will head to the platform early.
Speaking of the Shinkansen, lunch boxes! I would like to buy a delicious lunch box. Which one should I choose? All of them look delicious. I’ll tell you which lunch box I bought later. I am at Shinkansen platform. The previous Shinkansen had arrived at the platform. Finally, the Hello Kitty Shinkansen has arrived!
The Shinkansen, which is pink instead of the usual blue, is fresh. Each vehicle has a local original Hello Kitty. Inside the stylish and cute Hello Kitty Shinkansen, Car 2 has photo spots and Hello Kitty seats. Hello Kitty’s grandpa has a linch box.
A photo spot in Car 2. There are many foreign tourists taking pictures here. Move to next car number 1. Hello Kitty Shinkansen original goods are sold, so many passengers are shopping. Candy and mineral water. Souvenir sweets are also sold. I think I’ll buy myself some sweets in this cute tin.
Stuffed toys and tote bags. After enjoying shopping, we will proceed to the back of the shop. This is an exhibition corner. There are also photo spots and a theater that conveys the charm of the area. Hello Kitty music is playing.
It seems that the region changes depending on the season, but now it seems that the image of Kyoto is flowing. I would like to go through the crowd and head to the place I want. Here it is!
I’m just crossing the railroad bridge. Nice view, isn’t it? I’d like to drink alcohol, but I’m sorry for Hello Kitty, so I’ll hold back. I bought it because the packaging is cute. Inside, there is Kobe’s famous sweet “Gaufre”. I would like to go out to explore the Hello Kitty Shinkansen.
Hello Kitty on the deck. Hello Kitty on the door. Please watch your step. This is the corner of the washbasin. Full of pink! It seems that men hesitate to use it. Sorry I made you wait. It’s lunch time! Surprise! “Colorful Spring Bento” It looks so colorful and delicious.
Rice is Red Rice mixed with adzuki beans. In Japan, it is eaten on auspicious occasions. I’m full, so I’m going to explore the inside of the car again. Find more Hello Kitty!
This space is a luggage storage area. It was originally a place to put suitcases, but it has become a commemorative photo spot. Shinkansen seat covers are always clean. I also like the design of the blinds. It’s snack time. Let’s open the sweets we bought at the shop earlier.
The inside is Kobe’s specialty “Gaufre”. We will soon arrive at Himeji Station. The happy time surrounded by Hello Kitty is about to end. Arrived at Himeji Station. I’m going to Himeji Castle from now on. Finally, I would like to see off the Hello Kitty Shinkansen departing from Himeji Station.
Go to Hakata Station, the last stop! Speaking of Himeji, Himeji Castle. When I got off the platform, a model of Himeji Castle greeted me. Himeji Castle is accessible from the central exit of Himeji Station. It takes about 15 minutes on foot, but I used a taxi today.
The surroundings of the castle are well maintained. From now on, I would like to do my best to climb up to the castle tower. I’m out of breath, so excuse me for today.
