Kofu


The bus from the end of the walking track took us back to Kofu station.
We were doubly luck. There was a festival of sorts on, which made the castle much more lively that it would usually be, futhermore we were lucky enough to be at the station in time to catch a Yamanashi holiday express - which functions as an express, but still allows seishin juu hachi kippu ticket holders to board.

An express home ... very nice...
I had seen nothing in the seishun 18 info that mentioned this train - sheer and unexpected bliss :)
No changing trains before Shinjuku and no need to stand.
