Riding the Trains in Japan

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Arriving late in Kyoto, Patrick Holland cannot find a room for the night. Homeless and disorientated in a place where loitering is not encouraged, his only solution is to ride the trains.

The train journey is the starting point for a book that also describes travels through Vietnam, mountains in the Chinese Himalaya, lost cities of the Silk Road, mist-swathed cemeteries in Japan, and the flat plains of Australia.

Riding the Trains in Japan weaves these diverse experiences into a compelling narrative, capturing the essence of adventure and discovery.
