A TRAIN DAY IN THE CHUETSU REGION: JR EAST JOETSU LINE AND SHINETSU MAIN LINE

I change back to the EMU at Echigo Kawaguchi Station. The train in front is the JR East E129 Series for the Joetsu Line, which I will take next. Behind it is the diesel train I took from Tokamachi.

The train ran into the Shinetsu Main Line, and I came to Nagaoka for the first time in my life. It's time for lunch. What does this city offer?

列車は信越本線に乗り入れて長岡に到着。長岡に来たのは生まれて初めて。ランチの時間だが、この街では何が食べられるのだろう？
