Cute TV Commercial (Kyushu JR)
Cute TV Commercial (Kyushu JR)
The Kyushu Shinkansen (九州新幹線 Kyūshū Shinkansen) is a Japanese high-speed railway line between the Japanese cities of Fukuoka(Hakata) and Kagoshima in Kyushu (and an extension of the Sanyo Shinkansen from Honshu), running parallel to the existing Kagoshima Main Line and operated by the Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu). The southern 127 km was constructed first due to the fact that the equivalent section of the former Kagoshima Main Line is single line, and thus a significant improvement in transit time was gained when this (dual track) section opened on 13 March 2004, despite the need for passengers to change to a Relay Tsubame narrow gauge train at Shin-Yatsushiro for the remainder of the journey to Hakata. The northern 130 km section opened on 12 March 2011, (although opening ceremonies were canceled due to the2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami) enabling through-services to Shin-Osaka (and with a change of train, Tokyo).[1]
This is TV commercial for celebrating the opening!
Very cute video!

Have you been to Asakusa, yet?
Where is Asakusa?
Asakusa (浅草) is the center of Tokyo's shitamachi (literally "low city"), one of Tokyo's districts, where an atmosphere of the Tokyo of past decades survives.
Asakusa's main attraction is Sensoji, a very popular Buddhist temple, built in the 7th century. The temple is approached via the Nakamise, a shopping street that has been providing temple visitors with a variety of traditional, local snacks and tourist souvenirs for centuries.
Asakusa can easily be explored on foot. Alternatively, you can consider a guided tour on a rickshaw (jinrikisha, literally "man powered vehicle"). A 30 minute tour for two persons costs around 8000 yen. Shorter and longer courses are also available.
