Someone sent me a link to this video, made by a Japanese train enthusiast.
It shows the scenery from Kawato station to IzumoTaisha station.
No narration or music, just the inaka passing by the window.
This is very representative of where I lived in Japan from 2004 to 2009.
In fact, I used to ride this train on occasion. During my first year, if it was raining, I would sometime take the train to school, as the final stop is about a 5 minute walk from my main Jr High School.
The 2nd to last station at about the 10minute mark (Hamayama koen station) is about a 5 minute walk from my old apartment.
You can see the huge, white torii for IzumoTaisha at about 12;49 into the video.
Enjoy a little glimpse into MY Japan.

Konnichiwa Minnasan! Hello All! Thanks for visiting to read about my adventures in rural Japan. I lived in Shimane prefecture from July of 2004 to July of 2009 as a member of the Jet Programme. Then I went back to Shimane from October 2010 to February 2016 to teach at a Japanese university. Now I teach history at a private high school where the Japanese students learn in English. Thanks for stopping by!

I love it. It seems so simple but for me it is so interesting. I love watching the scenery of Japan going by and hearing the female train announcer and the bells for the doors. It is all such a vivid memory of Japan.
