The film shows viewers a metropolis where rail transport plays an important role:

The new high-speed railway line runs through the city on concrete tracks.

The film also visits one of Japan's few surviving ancient towns, as well as one of the country's most famous gardens. The railway and the city are inextricably linked.

Even the Shinkansen high-speed train livery is based on the colors of a local palace.

One tourist highlight is a small special train that hugs the coastline and serves sushi. The Kanazawa railway hub is a microcosm of Japan’s national train network.
