Frequently bought together:

The train in Japan is much more than transport. A dense network reveals the country's diversity through the window.

Board a Shinkansen high-speed train as it races across the plains between major cities. Local lines and panoramic trains through striking scenery introduce a lesser-known rural Japan.

Part travel narrative and part practical guide, the itineraries created for this book encourage you to move beyond postcard images and follow the railway from Hokkaido to Kyushu. Every stop brings local flavours, hidden architecture and encounters.

Excursions from Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka also reveal unexplored aspects of the country beyond its major cities.

Themed features accompany the detailed, stage-by-stage itineraries: combining trains and bathing, the art of eating on board, and starting a station-stamp collection. Practical pages help organise the journey and explain the different rail passes.
