About to catch the local train from Kushiro to Nemuro. The easternmost station is actually Higashi Nemuro, just before the terminus. 

Despite boarding 20 minutes early the best seats are already taken. Oh well, I’ve got a return trip. 

Sitting on the adjacent platform is the Norokko tourist train to Toro. That would be an experience, but I’ve just passed through that route.
