I enjoy using the rail system in Japan. It is efficient, mostly on schedule and comfortable. Here is a picture of us relaxing in our seats on our trip to Echigo Yuzawa. As you can see the seats are airlines seats that recline. Very comfortable.
The rail system is also known for its ekiben. I had the Fukagawa Meshi. My other friends had tonkatsu. The point is that there is such a variety of ekiben that anyone can find something they enjoy.
Did I mention comfortable seats on the train?
There is something about the sound of the train that is relaxing. I cannot explain it, it seems rather odd that the sound of steel on steel has a soothing effect. You just have to ride a long distance train yourself to find out.
