Trains, Trains, Trains - Airport Rides

Writing about enjoying the scenery while on-board the numerous trains in Tohoku, I thought I'd put up some photos of the trains we boarded to get to our destinations. On each visit to Japan, we try to get on interesting trains or new trains that we have yet get on-board. Zaini is kinda a train otaku, you know. We are so looking forward to boarding the new shinkansen from Osaka someday.^^

I have this project of getting shots of each of the train heads we got on, but sometimes that can be hard to do especially when we were rushing and running late to get on them or when we weren't either on the first or last stop. Did you know that I made everyone missed our train from Tokyo to Akita because I was busy chasing  and snapping trains last year?
Three trains that you might get on from the airport to your destination. The first one is the Narita Express (N'EX) that covered the route from Narita Airport Terminal to Tokyo, Shinagawa, Shibuya, Shinjuku,Ikebukuro and Yokohama.

The second photo is of the Limited Express Rapi:t that covers Kansai Airport to Namba Station. It sure has a pretty cool looking head, don't you think? Much like a mask.

The third one is of the Kansai Airport Limited Express Haruka connecting Maibara through Kyoto Station to Kansai International Airport in Osaka.

After this, I think I'll post up photos of trains we took in Kyushu and move my way up to Hirosaki (maybe once a month post about trains?) Why Hirosaki, you ask? Up to 2010, Hirosaki was the uppermost part we've been to. The southernmost would be Kagoshima-Chuo.
