Went to embassy in Tokyo for important documents.
Here are some pictures that I managed to take during my trip back to Niigata.

Older model of Shinkansen for Tokyo-Niigata. Looks like Airbus 320, cool.

Inside of the Shinkansen. Similar like aiplane.

New model of Shinkansen for Tokyo-Niigata. Looks very futuristic but I prefer the old model. I called this model, the 'itik' model. One of its special features is it has double decker cars.

Mountains in Niigata are still slightly covered with snow

Niigata is famous of its paddy fields. 70% of the scenary you will see from Tokyo to Niigata will also be paddy fields.
