Even if LCC comes around, it'll be too little, too late to draw any big revenues because next year is when the Hokuriku Shinkansen sector opens up allowing us to go Tokyo-Kanazawa on the Shinkansen. YAY!!! ^^^^^^^
Currently the Hokuriku Shinkansen only goes up to Nagano, which was built in time for the Nagano Winter Olympics. Next year, the sector to Kanazawa opens up! Yay! ^

Can't wait until next year so I can say goodbye to my HND-KMQ air travels. What a hassle!

When the Hokuriku Shinkansen sector opens up, it'll only be 2.5 hours from Tokyo to Kanazawa!
