@fluids_guru Great. Even into the rural areas. Gets a bit dicey in the hole in the mountain areas, but even there it is better than average US suburban transit.
For example, last summer we went to a remote Shinto shrine in the mountains, trekked and watched a Noh play.
Got there entirely by mass transit.
