Exploring the Japanese Alps by Local Train

After having an absolute blast doing our first "rock, paper, scissors" travel in summer along the Koumi Line, we've set our sights on a new adventure, the Oito Line! The line spans across Nagano and Niigata, connecting the mountains to the ocean along the historic 'salt road'. We're in for a unique experience learning about the history, enjoying the various sights, and soaking in the cozy autumn vibes this wonderful place in Japan has to offer. Where will the results of rock, paper, scissors take us this time? //COME SAY HI!
