[UP2] How to get to school by the Shinkansen
I live in Nagaoka and use the Shinkansen to go to school, because Nagaoka is a railway station of the Shinkansen, and Nagaoka to Niigata takes just over 20 minutes by using it. Also, the other reason is that I didn't want to leave my grandparents because they are very old and I'm worried about their health. It takes about an hour and a half to commute to school using the Shinkansen, including transfers, so I have to get up early. I always sleep on the Shinkansen in the morning. The Shinkansen shaking is perfect for sleeping comfortably.

Automatic ticket gate
The Train (Joetsu Line)
The Train (Hakushin Line)
The Shinkansen
[Ingredients]
One train pass
1. First, walk about 350 meters to the left after leaving my house to Miyauchi station.
2. Second, go up the stairs, and hold the pass over the automatic ticket gate at Miyauchi station.
3. Third, go down the stairs, and go to platform 5 and get on the train (Joetsu Line) to Nagaoka.
4. Forth, get off the train (Joetsu Line) at Nagaoka station.
5. Fifth, go up the escalator, and hold the pass over the automatic ticket gate of the Shinkansen.
6. Sixth, go up the escalator, and go to platform 11 and get on the Shinkansen to Niigata.
7. Seventh, get off the Shinkansen at Niigata station.
8. Eighth, get off the escalator, and change to the local line. After that, hold the pass over the automatic ticket gate.
9. Ninth, go up the escalator, and go to platform 4 and get on the train (Hakushin Line) to Shibata.
10. Tenth, get off the train (Hakushin Line) at Ogata station and hold the pass over the automatic ticket gate. After leaving the station, walk a little and cross a traffic light.
11. Eleventh, go along the road and when you see a traffic light on your left, cross it. After crossing the traffic light, cross another traffic light in front of you.
12. Twelfth, cross the traffic light on the right, and walk a little.
You can go to Niigata by local train instead of the Shinkansen, but it takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Nagaoka to Niigata. Also, if you follow the opposite procedure, you can come to Nagaoka station or Miyauchi station. However, you should be careful not to oversleep. There are few stations where the Shinkansen stops, so if you oversleep, you may go far away!
Going to school by the Shinkansen is expensive and hard, but I'm happy because I don't have to leave my family. Also, I have local friends who go to Niigata by it, so sometimes things are tough but I'm doing all right. Nagaoka is a little far away, but please come!

I enjoyed reading about this unique topic.
It made me want to visit Nagaoka.
I understanded that coming from Nagaoka is really hard. I want to try to go there someday.
I always go to school by the train! I was surprised at this way!
I also take the train to university, but it's a different direction so it feels fresh.
My friend who is from Nagaoka is living alone near the university. I was surprised when heard that you go to school from Nagaoka everyday. It’s too hard, take care of yourself.
