Feeling a little down as i m finding more & more transportation issues in my tohoku planning.

as i can't drive & it's in winter that i m going to tohoku, i m relying entirely on trains.

however, on closer planning (using hyperdia) to work out my timing in various spots, i find that most shinkansen trains do not run at night, the latest is at most 5pm.

for instance, i had thought i could cover lake tazawa and kakunodate in one day. but the train timings are just not matching that i can go sendai-tazawako-kakunodate-sendai in a single day.

i m getting quite stressed just with the thought of possibility missing trains and stuck at some place in the wilderness of tohoku in deep cold winter.

shld i give up tohoku?

i was excited by the charms of nature in tohoku, but the planning seems to be draining all the fun away.

That is simply not true. Shinkansen run until midnight!

Of course, they do.
