We were lucky enough that we managed to include the Hello Kitty shinkansen* into our schedule 🙌

We rode it for just over an hour and that was good amount of time for everyone to explore and enjoy. I’m not sure I trust the conductor though…

There’s the compulsory photo areas which Esti enjoyed. Even the luggage area is themed!

At the end there is, of course, a shop to happily take your money. Esti was tempted by the swizzle sticks by without opposable thumbs they aren’t that useful.

And, with that, I will leave you with one final thought from Hello Kitty 👋

* just don’t get the name mixed up with a spoonerism here as I did, much to everyone else’s amusement 😆
