All Aboard! The Satoyama Torokko Train

by Satoshi Kako

Legendary children’s author Satoshi Kako brings his distinctive illustrative style to this wonderfully comprehensive guide to the Satoyama Torokko train, four open-sided tram cars retrofitted with a steam engine. The train takes its passengers on a scenic route through the countryside of the Boso Peninsula in Chiba prefecture, a journey which Kako recreates here with rich detail and fascinating insight, encompassing facts from geography to geology to history and beyond.
