At Himeji KiHa 181 22 leads the ‘KaniKani Express’, ‘kani’ (crab) reflecting its destination of Kinosaki Onsen, also in Hyogo Prefecture. Himeji Station today is completely unrecognisable from this shot, with the station now on an elevated structure.
En route on the Bantan Line, this type 103-3500 set was stabled at Teramae.
