I went to Morioka which is located in the north-east (Tohoku) area in Japan.
I started from my house by my car at 5:45AM.
I left my car at a coin-parking at Shin-Kobe station.
It takes about 3 hours from Shin-Kobe to Tokyo by Tokaido-Shinkansen, and two and a half hours from Tokyo to Morioka by Tohoku-Shinkansen.
