Actually, as there isn't a station in Ogura or Okura, it appears to be a train coming from Kokura -- the same characters are read in ogura ann (a flavour of red bean paste used in sweets). Kokura is better known in the English-speaking world as being the original target for the atomic bomb that hit Nagasaki, passed over due to the weather . . .

To note that the title of this article is misleading is an understatement. The train was obviously delayed before it ever got to Saga prefecture. Kitakyushu is in the northeast of Fukuoka prefecture, and Saga is to the west of Fukuoka towards Nagasaki. Furthermore, Ogura is a misreading of the Sinitic writing. Everyone knows Ogura is in Yahata which is past Space World, and it should be Okura which is in Kokura. Space World is a spacious theme park on the theme of outer space, and has the reputation of being a popular place to bring a date (that you want to let you in her space?) . . .
