Hitachi Nagasaki Denki Kidō 211 series #214
11 lutego 2020 - Nagasaki (Nagasaki Pref.), Nakazonomachi (長崎県長崎市中園町), National Route 206, Akasako tram terminus. A brief reprieve from the Kantō area in the form of nearly the edge of the country - Nagasaki. To start this short series off, a rather peculiar terminus structure: a single bi-directional platform (which by the way is the longest in the network, at 53 metres), split into three sectors. As such, three different cars can terminate here simultaneously. However for the same reason cars depart from here in reverse order of their arrival - first to arrive, last to leave. The points splitting off to the double-track section are right at the end of the platform (behind the photographer). Akasako is also the western-most tram stop in Japan.

Hitachi Nagasaki Denki Kidō 211 series #212
11 lutego 2019 - Nagasaki (Nagasaki Prefecture), Kawaguchimachi, Urakami-kaidō, near Genbaku-shiryōkan stop (長崎県長崎市川口町浦上街道), National Route 206. Two days after returning to Tokyo from the freezing north with the Japanese version of Ryanair (although the opinion didn`t come from my own flight as much as my dormmates`... or rather the cancellations. One of my friends was supposed to return only 5 hours later, she didn`t fly until two days later, the others none the better.), I jumped on another flight - to Nagasaki...City which one cannot have not heard of. As it stands today, it is the second and last atomic bomb attack target. Nonetheless, it`s just as important for having been the only city in Japan which conducted international trade for over 200 years. The city lies in a valley and can be divided into two major portions. For us the enthusiasts, however, the more important part will be the tram network. Since its opening in 1914, it has not lost a kilometre in the net total. Aside from moving one line in the 40s or 50s, the network has only been developed since the opening, with a total of 11.5 km of lines today. It`s powered by 600V DC, and runs on 1435 mm gauge tracks - unusually enough for Japan.
