These stunning photos were taken by a Japanese photographer (@tajiri0917) on the Gono line in Northern Japan, but many comparisons have been made between these shots and famous anime scenes.
The train line is a favourite of arresting scenery-seekers. It connects Akita prefecture with Aomori in north Japan, and stretches along the coast, allowing for beautiful views of the Sea of Japan.
Luckily this section of the train was completely void of passengers, adding to the photograph’s mysterious vibes.
