Yes, I had a memorable experience on a crowded slow train that went up hills in a remote area.
At one moment I looked around at the other passengers and thought, "Wow this would be a strange death."🙃
I realised just how far from home and what a cultural experience it was. Japan is known for its "other-planet" vibe though.
Interesting. Sounds like a good memory, or at the very least one that stand out lol
