Snippet:
Osaka-Namba Station to Toba Station, a key jumping-off point for Ise-Shima National Park and Japan’s most sacred shrine, Ise Jingu. I’m onboard the Kintetsu Shimakaze (“Island Wind”) premium sightseeing express train heading to Kashikojima, with a scheduled duration of just under two hours at speeds up to 130mh/h (most of the journey is much slower than the top speed).
