LXXIX - Tokyo




The Pokemon Train!

JR East has decorated 13 of their shinkansen (新幹線, bullet trains) with characters from the popular videogame and animation Pokemon! These trains operate on the Tohoku, Joetsu, Akita, Yamagata and Nagano lines during the summer months, from July to September, which is when Japanese schoolchildren are on holiday. The trains even have Pokemon-themed decoration inside!

Sorry about the bad picture, it was going very fast!
