2013.3.16

It was a warm nice day.  There was the announcement of blooming the cherry blossoms "somei yoshino(ソメイヨシノ)" in Tokyo.  It was about 15 days earlier than last year and 10 days earlier than usual. This is the fastest record as 2002 since the start of the observation in 1953.
I went to once a week grocery shopping in the morning.

There were two big news regarding transportation in Japan.  One is the new connection of the Tokyu Toyoko Line (from Yokohama to Shibuya) and the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line (from Shibuya to Wako).  From Yokohama to Saitama there are direct lines from today.  Shibuya is a very big station where about 2.15 million people use every day. It is changing.
The other is the change of the new time table of JR,  and the start of Hayabusa Shinkansen's fastest run at 320 km/h.
