See the land of the rising sun from the rails in Train Japan, the perfect guide to travelling Japan by locomotive. Seasoned Japan lovers Steve Wide and Michelle Mackintosh bring you their expert advice on the best way to get around this country, including day trips, multi-day train journeys and even themed itineraries for crafty folk, foodies or pop culture fanatics on 'joyful' trains.

Platform-hop around Tokyo and Kyoto cities or whiz along on the shinkansen bullet train to get to where you need to go - fast! Do a lap of the islands, Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku or Kyushu, to get a feel for all this country has to offer, and then do it again in cherry blossom season or when the mountains are blanketed in snow. Whatever the time of year, this guide will help you experience Japan in a way you never have before.

Including carefully curated advice, stunning photography and useful tips, Train Japan has everything you need to experience Japan by rail.
