The HITACHI Express | Tokyo to Sendai on the LONGEST express train in East Japan

In this video, I use the Japan Rail Pass to take the Hitachi intercity express train to Sendai. The Hitachi travels on the Joban Line, which suffered extensive damage from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunamis. We'll take a look at these disaster-struck regions of the country as we pass through them. Hop on board, enjoy the video, and maybe learn a thing or two.
