Tetsuko's Travels

Kikuchi Naoe is a struggling manga artist who needs work. She gets lucky when she runs into a travel writer and is asked to come along. He turns out to be Yokomi Hirohiko, Japan's biggest train enthusiast. In 1995, he visited all 4636 JR train stations. Now he plans to visit the remaining 5207 private stations. Kikuchi, despite her initial horror at the task, is stuck, since her boss is a huge train geek too. So, with few other options, she resigns herself to trying it out and from then on accompanies Yokomi on his journey around Japan.
