...it has been almost 50 years since I last rode the trains of Kanagawa Prefecture, but the memories of those many journeys from Atsugi to Yokohama are still easy to recall.

My fascination with Japan's trains began the first time I rode a train from Atsugi to Yokohama. My first ride on a Japanese train was in August of 1961; my last in December of 1963. At the time of my departure, Japan was just about ready to launch its bullet trains and the Olympics were scheduled for 1964. It is with more than a few regrets that I never made it back, as planned, but there remains hope that I'll ride those trains again sometime soon...
