Photographing the Tadami line has always been in my bucket list so far. I love to take photographs of trains, especially rural trains like the Akita Nairiku Line and at Naruko Gorge. I had fun chasing after these trains.

Having experienced the amazing Nothern Tohoku (Aomori, Akita, a bit of Iwate and Miyagi) region Autumn last year, next time will go for the Southern Tohoku (Yamagata, Fukushima...) region during winter...

Nice. When you meant "chasing after these trains" were you doing literally or really doing it?

Really drive and chase the train, and standby at those photo spots before the train arrives.

Rough sketch of my Japan 2021 Autumn trip. Is this doable?

Not sure of the costs for the inter City transport and luggage forwarding service..

Kanazawa-toyoma-shirakawago-tokyo

Where's the best place to view Mount Fuji?

I did almost the exact route during Autumn 2015
Landed in Osaka, then proceed to Takayama - Shirakawago - Kanazawa - Toyama - Alpine Route - Matsumoto - Kawaguchiko - Tokyo

There is now Hokuriku shinkansen from Tokyo to Kanazawa, you might want to consider one of the JR Arch Passes around.
