The Cliff notes of my long weekend trip to Naoshima:
Friday night: Depart Tokyo station after work. Board 7:30pm shinkansen to Okayama station. Arrive Okayama station at 11pm. Check into hotel for the night and crash out into bed.
Saturday morning: Early breakfast. Check out of hotel at about 8:10am. Board the 8:24am train departing Okayama bound for Uno station. (Change at Chayamachi enroute to Uno). Alight at Uno station about an hour later.
Destination Uno reached. A most awesome name for a train station and a small port town.
I was quite excited to be at a place named after a card game.
