Local tracks in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima. 🚃
At first glance, this looks like a regular train.
Actually, it’s part of the streetcar (tram) network.
In the city center, it runs on the road, but here it has its own dedicated tracks.

A ground-level view looking along double train tracks in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima. The tracks, built on gravel ballast with concrete sleepers, curve into the distance between dense Japanese houses. A complex network of overhead wires and utility poles lines both sides of the railway.

if it's the JapanRail Pass it won't always cover zipping about inside cities. If all you want is from town to town OK but not all lines in places like Tokyo take them.
You can pay cash for buses/trains or get a SUICA card from a machine and use that plus you can buy food with it.
