The express "Hamanasu" arrived at Honshu early in the morning.
We didn't have any plan for the rest of our trip. We took the Japan Sea side on the way up from Tokyo, so we decided to take the Pacific Ocean side down to Tokyo.
After arriving at Aomori Sta. we took the train to Hachinohe, and then took the Hachinohe line to Kuji Sta. From there we took Sanriku Tetsudou line. On the way to Miyako Sta. we got off the train and took the bus to see the beautiful coast. At Miyako Sta. we stayed at Suehiro-kan YH, which we reserved on that day at Hachinohe.
