Naturally, there is also a payphone here - priorities. 

Being particularly remote and inaccessible, I wonder when it was last used? It's working, of course.

Back to trains: the Kamome Shinkansen is the silliest railway. It's the shortest Shinkansen, and goes from Nagasaki to the middle of nowhere in ~20 minutes. 

Why is that? Politicians in the next prefecture don't want the Shinkansen... 

So instead, you get shuttled between Takeo-Onsen and Hakata where you can connect with the rest of the Shinkansen network. 

Maybe one day they'll join it all up...

Time for some more phones? 

Seems like the Shinkansen's character is keen on them too!
