Japan Trains & Stations Coloring Book

About this book

All aboard for Japan — sixty real trains and stations, and every one of them ready to color.

This book gathers the whole of Japanese railroading in one journey: the kingfisher-nosed 500 Series and the green Hayabusa; Doctor Yellow, the lucky train no timetable can promise; the Cassiopeia and Seven Stars cruise sleepers; steam in the snow of the Kushiro marsh and the gorges of Chichibu; the Tadami Line's bridge mirrored in its river; Enoden running beside the summer sea; trams in Hakodate, Nagasaki and Hiroshima; monorails hanging and gliding; and the great stations — Tokyo's red brick, Kanazawa's drum gate, and a platform at the edge of the sea at Shimonada.

Every subject appears as a two-page spread: on one side, a full-color photo guide with a short, fascinating story — including what to look for while you color — and on the other, a detailed coloring page of the very same view. A guide at the front shows you how to print only the coloring pages at home and save your color ink.

Inside you will find: • Shinkansen and famous expresses — Hayabusa, Komachi, Kagayaki, the 500 Series, Doctor Yellow and the floating SCMaglev • Cruise trains, sleepers and resort trains — Shikishima, Mizukaze, Seven Stars, Yufuin no Mori and the sunset dinner train Iyonada Monogatari • Steam locomotives — SL Taiju at Nikko, the Noble Lady of Banetsu, Paleo Express and the Winter Wetlands train among the cranes • Scenic local lines — Tadami, Kurobe Gorge, Sagano Torokko, Sanriku's coast and the Seto Ohashi crossing • Trams, monorails, cable cars and great stations — from Hakodate's trams to Tokyo Station's red brick and Shimonada's platform over the sea • 60 full-color photo guides with the story of each train (about 80–120 words each) • None of these sixty subjects appeared in our previous Japan coloring books

Sixty trains and stations, one great railway journey — bring pencils, and take your time.
