大ループの夜明け。確かこの列車は一番列車だったので、大畑に泊らない限りこの写真は撮れないはずです。そうです、我々は大畑の待合室に寝袋で泊まり込んで写真を撮っていたのです。夕飯と風呂に入るために夜になると人吉に下りていました。それ以外はずっと駅の待合室に泊まり込み。駅員皆様にはお世話になりました。m(__)m
Dawn of the Great Loop. This train was the first train arriving Okoba in the morning. Unless staying overnight at Okoba, it was impossible to take this picture. There was no accommodation available in Okaba, and we stayed in the waiting room of Okoba station in sleeping bags. We usually went down to Hitoyoshi to take dinner and bath and come back to Okoba or Masaki to sleep in the waiting rooms. The station staffs were kind enough to allow us to stay in the waiting room.
