For most of Japan, sakura season is just around the corner. Those lucky enough to live in or travel to Kawazu, however, benefit from some of the earliest blooming cherry blossoms in Japan. Located on the Izu Peninsula, Kawazu is home to gorgeous views of sakura blooming along the Kawazu River. So it's natural that many around Japan with a camera race to Kawazu to get some of the first scenic sakura shots of the season.

Japanese Twitter user @velous_93 was one such person, and set up his shot at just the right place and timing to capture a train passing by a sea of sakura trees. While he got an excellent set of photos showing why Kawazu is so special, he didn't bank on a little extra bonus photo you can appreciate if you zoom in...

The train conductor took notice of the camera, and playfully flashed @velous_93 the peace sign as the train whizzed off into the horizon--somewhat of a less dramatic Terminator 2: Judgment Day ending sequence.

If you're wondering, the actual driver of the train sits in the front, while the conductor stations himself at the rear to make announcements, operate doors, and survey surroundings--which may explain his quick perception to mug for the camera!

Fittingly, this train is actually called "The Yellow Train of Happiness" because it is a rare train that operates only once or twice a week in a limited area.

It just goes to show that a camera is a magnet for a peace sign in Japan, on duty or not!
