Shuchakueki He Ittekimasu New Edition (Kawade Bunko)

[Machine Translation] This "dead end" railroad travelogue visits 26 terminal stations from Nemuro on the Nemuro Line in the north to Makurazaki on the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line in the south. The entire line is ridden, the longest one-way ticket journey is taken, and the train terminates at the station. Shunzo Miyawaki's love for railroads is packed into a journey that he thoroughly rides through. Today, some of the terminus stations he visited in this book have disappeared. The train windows leading to the terminus stations are a record of the Showa period of his life.
