Japan Railway Travel Map Book: Expanded Edition - Ride-Completion Notebook: All Lines, All Stations, All Abandoned Lines A practical record book for etching memories of railway journeys onto maps and completing one's own complete-ride record. Published as an expanded edition of Shinchosha's "Japan Railway Travel Map Book" series, this is a must-have item for railway enthusiasts and map lovers. The biggest feature is that it covers not only operational lines but also the remains of old JNR and private railway lines that were abolished after 1945. Under the supervision of Keisuke Imao, the task of coloring in the sections you've ridden on the blank map-style route map is truly a blissful time. The high-quality compilation, which will resonate with enthusiasts who reminisce about the Nayoro Main Line and Tenpoku Line, which once ran through the wilderness of Hokkaido, or the railways of Sakhalin, is also appealing. Since it also includes abandoned and former lines, it is also the perfect book for organizing memories of local lines you traveled on in the past, and you can enjoy checking off each station while recalling the scenery from the train windows at the time and the bustling atmosphere of the now-defunct station buildings. It's not just a checklist; it also uses maps that are close to the correct scale, so you can visually understand the curves of the tracks and their relationship to the terrain, which is a noteworthy point. It works in conjunction with the main volume, which divides Japan into 12 blocks, and has an overwhelming amount of information, with all stations and lines listed. Even small stations on abolished private railways are included, making it a rare item that allows you to feel the expanse of the former railways. It's not just a record of your travels, but also a valuable base for your own personal history, allowing you to look back on the post-war railway history, and it's a fulfilling content that you'll want to keep on hand for a long time.
