■“Travel and Railway” brought to you by Icarus Publishing J-train Do you remember ever traveling by train? A nostalgic night train, a tour of Hokkaido with a round trip ticket, a slow train transfer trip… All of these must be a distant memory. Let’s look back at these nostalgic train journey scenes. ■“To that day, that time” when I once traveled by train We will focus on “good rail travel” before Shinkansen rail travel became mainstream, and delve into the railway circumstances behind it. In Vol.01, we have a special feature titled “Trains Heading West,” looking back at the last moments of the Kyushu Blue Train, reports on the sleeper express “Sakura,” and the journeys of the long-distance express “Unzen-Sakai.” In addition, it includes the behind-the-scenes story of the poster production for the familiar “Seishun 18 Kippu” and an overview of the tour ticket. You can enjoy nostalgic railway travel from every angle. Although it is billed as a classic, it also covers modern nostalgic railways, making it a book that can be recommended to a wide range of people, from young people to the elderly. ■This book is recommended for the following people ・People who like train travel ・People who used to travel across the country by train ・Those who are interested in Showa nostalgia ・Those who are interested in night trains and blue trains ■Paper image
