From the Shinkansen, the high-speed trains that link Japan's major cities, to the panoramic and luxury tourist trains whose carriages are inspired by Japanese interiors - tatami mats, paper screens, and so on. shoji<\/em>From the traditional rooms, with subdued lighting, traditional fabrics on the benches and cypress baths, to the local railways, there are plenty of ways to travel around the archipelago. As for fares, there's something for everyone. From the most affordable to top-of-the-range trains like the futuristic Shiki-shima<\/a> which criss-crosses eastern Japan, or the Japanese Orient Express Nanatsuboshi <\/a>on the island of Ky\u016bsh\u016b, both of which are true luxury hotels that need to be booked several months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n

This book is designed as a guide, with detailed itineraries and illustrations that are characteristic of each locality. It's an invitation to get away from the tourist hotspots and discover the country's little-known facets and distinctive local features at every stop. For each stop, a very clear summary explains the places not to be missed, and there are many of them.<\/p>\n\n\n

In addition, a practical booklet lists the various rail passes and details the prices of destinations according to the stops chosen. In each place, the author indicates where to eat, where to stay and what to bring back. Everything is well explained and documented. At the end of the book, there is a glossary of the most commonly used words and a reminder of the customs and rules of etiquette in this country, where the well-being and respect of others take precedence over the desires and interests of the individual. For example: no phoning on board, speaking in a low voice, respecting areas for the elderly, disabled or pregnant women, not eating on trains, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n
