The final stop on our Musashi Station list, and the final resting place of the legendary warrior Musashi Miyamoto.
-

An honorary Musashi owing to its clocking in at 634 metres … which can be read as MU-SA-SHI in Japanese.
-

Nothing on telly but repeats? erm, sorry… it’s the same thing here too.
-

From war time airbase to civilian airport to Olympic event starting location, the only area of note near Musashinodai has quite a colourful history.
-

A visit to Tokyo’s longest covered shopping street is pretty much all you’d come to this week’s Musashi for. There is also a park.
-

At this point, I’m more surprised when a Musashi station doesn’t have a park nearby…
-

Two for the price of one! Or maybe that should be 1 and a bit for the price of one…
-

Nothing round these parts but bees, honey.
-

Our first of the Musashis on the Itsukaichi line, and another exercise in sleepy rural nothing-much-at-all-ness… with great views though.
-

There’s been a few uninspiring Musashis, as one might expect. Sunagawa kind of takes the gold medal though.
-

A non-descript station not that far from a lovely part of the world, Kawagoe.

The last of the Nambu stations, this entry in the Railways of the Warrior annals has a lot of science & engineering in it.
