And coal mined in the nearby Chikuho area fueled this industry. We visit old ironworks and coal mines along the railways that transported the coal, and eat a bento that has delighted travelers for a century. We meet a retired mechanic working to invigorate the area with railroad history and an ex-coal miner preserving its coal mining past for posterity. ==See Also== [[https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/traincruise/|NHK Site]] ==Trailer== ,,Full Version Available Upon Request,, \\ ,,Related Documentary,,\\ {{ youtube>xLJXleRFxD0 }} \\ {{tag>HD Travel Transport Train Japan Fukuoka NHK 2021 ar02/21 Name}} \\
