Nine days riding the Tōkaidō and Sanyō lines end to end, from Tokyo Bay to the Seto Inland Sea. Three days to take Tokyo apart properly — the temple east, the neon west — then Kyoto and Nara at a pace that lets you sit down. West of Osaka the trip changes character: Himeji's white heron castle straight off the platform, Hiroshima's Peace Park, and a whole day on Miyajima, where the great torii floats at high tide and the deer walk you back to the pier. Every long leg is a reserved seat, every hotel is beside a station, and your bags travel separately.
