Dismaying bus trip to Oita

An ordinary bus took us From Hiroshima to Kokura. In the mid way we got quite worried about the driver. He seemed extremely sleepy. His head nodded down loosely every five seconds. He fought against falling asleep.

Not long after, he called an early timeout at the coming service station. After he rested we continued the trip, crossed the ocean bridge between Kyushu and the main island, and headed towards Kokura.

In Kokura we transferred to Sonic train, which took us in two hours to our final destination; Oita. The Sonic train itself was a luxurious locomotive. Have you ever seen a wooden parquet flooring and genuine leather seats in a modern train? I haven't.
