Japan’s Spectacular Train Window Guide (Tabi-tetsu Guide 006)

From Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south, this book compiles photographs taken by railway photographer Minoru Sasakura over many years, capturing the gem-like scenic train windows that can be seen from inside the trains.

Among these train windows, there are breathtaking views you won’t want to miss. Moments when the sea spreads out before you, winding rivers, and mountains beautifully framed without any obstructions…
Some column pages also introduce nostalgic train windows that can no longer be seen due to line closures.
