Once again the drink vending machines drew much attentions once more in this trip, but one interesting observation is the immensely famous Itoh Misaki seen in the Nescafe coffee ad on the left is the most graced face on advertisement beside Nakama Yukie and had a popular dorama series on Fuji TV at that time known as "Densha Otoko".

The morning liner took a longer route to reach Nippori station, stopping by at least 4 stations along the way, takinig a grand total of 70 minutes. Then it was a transfer to the famous JR Yamanote line which they would take to their hotel at Ikebukuro, unlike taking all the way to Ueno and loop back to Nippori again.
