Tokyo Express (Penguin Modern Classics)

Product Information

The author is a Zainichi Korean and is presumably no stranger to feeling marginalised in Japanese society. And as evidence accumulates, the text incorporates interesting bits of ephemera from his notebook: diagrams, lists, and timelines. One reads on excitedly to see whether such a chink exists and whether and how Mihara manages to break it. Shabby, world-weary, provincial Inspector Torigai’s a particularly sympathetic character, and his bond with the younger, overworked Inspector Mihara’s very effective.

It’s an enjoyable, sometimes fascinating piece, and there’s a particularly pleasing symmetry and precision to Matsumoto’s plot. We don’t plan on on activating our pass until our 3rd day (15 October) in Tokyo before taking the Shinkansen to Osaka on the 16 October. Transfer from main airports to city centers (Narita Express to central Tokyo, as you have already learned in this article you are commenting).To get to Naoshima from Osaka, take the JR Sanyo Shinkansen Line from Shin-Osaka station to Okayama using either the Sakura or Hikari train.

The prolific career of acclaimed mystery and detective fiction author Seicho Matsumoto spanned the latter half of the 20th century. Kennedy's PT-109 was lost on a "poorly planned and uncoordinated" attack on a Tokyo Express run on the night of 1-2 August 1943.

DisneySea is a twenty-minute walk from Maihama Station, or you can take the Disney Resort Monorail from Maihama to Tokyo Disney Sea Station.

I began to see familiar faces on my route, and like Sherlock Holmes I’d sneak peeks at people and look for clues to indicate each person’s life story. Therefore, if you have purchased a 7-day pass and your activation date (when you first use the pass) is the 29th of January, the exact expiration time will be midnight on February 4. It’s now considered a classic of the flowering of Japanese crime fiction post-WW2 – the genre was banned during the war because it was considered a source of potentially decadent, unpatriotic ideas. We have plan to purchase a 7 days JR Pass, what would be the recommended activation for the JR Pass? What is the main difference between the ‘Green Pass’ and the basic JR Pass – does it cover more lines or faster trains?

Al di là di questa analogia, cliché e definizioni di comodo hanno sovente ben più solide fondamenta: anche Matsumoto come Simenon evade dalla gabbia della letteratura di genere o di intrattenimento e regala pagine assolutamente indimenticabili. The premise made me think that this would be a whodunnit with some noir undertones, but it soon became apparent that the mystery driving the narrative was more of the whydunnit variety. Le persone tendono ad agire sulla base di idee preconcette, a passare oltre dando troppe cose per scontate.

Regarding the activation of Japan Rail Pass, after exchange of the temporary voucher to the Jr ticket office in the airport can I immediately use my JR pass on that day? Lastly, when we travel back to airport from Shinjuku to Narita, can we still use the same pass, as long as it is within the 7 day period from its first used?
