Japan (Nov2011) Day 6: Shin-Osaka to Gotemba
Yes, I know. Why did I go from Tokyo, down south to Okayama, and then up north to Gotemba again?
2 main reasons: 1, my cousin could only meet me on that particular day. 2, Grinpa themepark is closed on this day so I can only visit the following day. Grinpa themepark is where the Sylvanian Families themepark is located at.
Therefore on the morning of this day, I took Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka to Mishima, then local train from Mishima to Numazu, and then Ltd Exp train from Numazu to Gotemba.
