Akita On The Move : View From The Resort Shirakami

Apart from the awesome ride on the Akita Shinkansen, we had a ball of time taking a on the Resort Shirakami (Buna). We intended to travel from Akita to Aomori but decided to stop short our trip and hop off the train at Hirosaki Station just in time to catch the sleeper train Akebono back to Akita.
Rain accompanied us on this trip
And rain sure makes one particularly hungry. An early dinner for Raimie (or was it a late lunch?)
 
I wish I had taken better photos of the coastline, on the Gono Line. Oh well... I was torn between looking at them and being glued to the window and yet wanting to take photos of them, lots of it.
Just like on the Akita Shinkansen, we saw more paddy fields.
Villages located right by the shoreline
Then, we saw a giant apple upon arriving Hirosaki Station which Raimie tried to nick, but he can't roll them away. ^^
Got our last minute booking for the L'Ex sleeper train Akebono and went down the platform to wait for it.
Our train arrived!
