Train Station posters & signs, various and etc / Shinkonryoko Ramble, 2019

Along the way on our shinkonryoko (honeymoon) slow travel ramble, we rode all sorts of trains which are documented in various ways throughout this archive.

While the trains get all the glory, the stations and ticket counters are also interesting – *Just* the day-to-day essential services provided without grandeur or acclaim.

What follows are simply a few snaps of posters and signs spotted around train station for amusement, inspirations and recollection with minimal annotations (due to explanatory nature and/or misremembering). Nothing special (except in the sense everything is special).

oh be careful!
besides the commuter & high-volume/speed people-movers, are also tourist/scenic trains

at Tokamachi station, there was a great gift shop (loaded up) and this regional goods and sights inspired quilt

Note: this collection was well expand as i come across more items which fit this “posters and signs etc from stations” milieu, consider yourself advised :)

Blurb: On our meandering adventure of a honeymoon in May-June 2019, we travelled by many means of convenience including a wide variety of trains, rental cars, occasional coach buses and what not. See the whole Shinkonryoko Scrapbook for a mixed-media ephemera overview and a list of places visited for the curious.
