The start point was at the terminal of the street cars.

 

They are welcomed by many relatives and friends. 

 

The groom is Mr. Takashi Nagano, who is known as “Railway mania” in this region, and the bride is Ms. Yuko.

He has experience that he has travelled and took all the JR(Japan Railways) line in the nation.
