Al Jazeera's Ramsey Zarifeh first travelled to Japan soon after graduation to teach English. Fascinated by the futuristic bullet trains and the country’s unique train network, he got to know Japan through its railways. He travelled on nearly every rail line and ended up writing a guide book based on these experiences. This film recalls Ramsey's initial journey, and is an exploration of contemporary Japan through the story of its railway and distinctive train culture.
