01

Define what to maximise

The goal was to increase meaningful train time, reduce waiting, preserve sounds that may disappear and add new places to the journey.

02

Design the route

The route linked Tokyo, Shin-Aomori, Morioka, Omagari and Niigata, while keeping more than one possible recording opportunity.

03

Plan for failure first

Crowds, delays, weather, overlapping announcements, extra costs and fatigue were listed with alternatives and rest time.
