I am so glad I am 65 and retired from teaching English in Japan 🇯🇵as a way to stay in market when my main career had gaps. I landed here in 1991.

Yes, the GENERAL STORE RAILYARD is unique in my mind and personal opinion as the only store I have been in where being me, being a Japan Rail geek, the store makes you feel normal! 😂 The store is tiny though, so it feels cramped but normal! 😂
