Thus, having few other options, she resigns herself to trying it out and henceforth accompanies Yokomi on his journey around Japan.
Seasons & Episode
Kikuchi eagerly accepts a travelog manga job but finds herself bored to death because she doesn't have the slightest interest in stations or hopping on and off trains. At the end of the day, she found salvation in enjoying specialized Eki-Ben (Station Lunch Box).
Tetsuko's Travel crew traveled from one station to the next which cost 130 yen but used the longest way around route through 7 prefectures instead, without exiting the station
A young lady joins Tetsuko's crew traveling on the Niigata Prefecture railroad using a weekend train pass, dubbed "Date Course" by Yokomi.
The crew travel to Southern Tohoku but Kikuchi is less interested at first, because of the sudden change in the person in charge of the project. Alas, when Yokomi claims the travel is "special" there are a lot of surprises (and frustration) await her.
