JIN-SHA : RAILROAD BY THE SEASHORE
by Eiichi Yokomizo
illustrated by Eiichi Yokomizo
Dec,2006

When you hear a word "train," what kind of train do you think of: Shinkansen trains, the trains in your town, or steam engines? The train in this book is, believe it or not, pushed by people! The sea-side road to Atami spa was so rough and steep that usual railway couldn't be constructed. Narrow gauged tramway used to be the best means of transportation. Find out more about the history of railway, and imagine how it would be to travel in a train pushed by people!
