■ "THE JOURNEY: THE FINE ART OF TRAVELLING BY TRAIN" GESTALTEN
This book introduces over 40 high-quality train journeys that are attracting attention from five continents, from Europe to Asia, America, Africa, and Oceania, with abundant photos and explanations. It's packed with dream trains, including the Orient Express, a luxury train connecting Paris and Istanbul.
From Japan, the book features the luxury sleeper train "Seven Stars in Kyushu," which began operation in 2013 and saw a huge surge in reservations, and the steam locomotive "SL Ginga," which resumed operation to support the reconstruction of the Tohoku region.
This book is a must-read for travel and railway fans, as you can enjoy a leisurely visual tour as you turn the pages, from the history and services, to the interior of the passenger compartment, the beautiful scenery seen from the windows, and the distance and time of the journey.
